NOCTURNAL INFORMALITY: Rethinking the Temporal Politics of Urban Informality

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban informality has long been theorized as a spatial condition of urban life—an expression of negotiation, improvisation, and survival within the uneven terrains of legality and governance.
