Decimo articulo en Ciudad Viva - “Beds in Shed” Las nuevas viviendas informales en la ciudad global

Mi ultima aportación a la publicación web La Ciudad Viva es un articulo sobre las nuevas viviendas informales en el extrarradio de Londres que ponen en entredicho la vivienda suburbana como tipologia que puede absorber mayores densidades de población inmigrante en ciudades globales como Londres. http://www.laciudadviva.org/blogs/?p=17714

My last contribution to Web publishing La Ciudad Viva is an article about the new informal housing on the outskirts of London that critically assesses suburban housing as a typology able to absorb higher densities of immigrant population in global cities such as London. http://www.laciudadviva.org/blogs/?p=17714
