TY - JOUR TI - Informal cities – challenges for the social architecture AU - Kisiel, Anna TI - Informal cities – challenges for the social architecture AB - This article presents an overview of architectural solutions aimed at helping to improve living conditions in informal cities emerging in South America. The presented projects are based on the results of global architectural competitions, and based on the analysis of social and cultural research, social consultations and through the introduction of radical urban solutions. Each of these aims to reduce the level of social marginalisation of the residents of poor neighbourhoods and the integration of formal and informal parts of cities.
