Community Resilience Under Contexts of Informal Housing and Climate Change in the Americas
Informal housing and settlements are produced by spatial and social inequalities, increasing vulnerability, and risk for communities. In recent years, community resilience perspectives in architecture and urbanism have highlighted the idea of transformative adaptation where communities are able to restore their built environment, and to transform it based on their needs and desires. However, little has been explored and compared about whether and how informal housing influence local community resilience strategies and adaptations to disturbances and challenges. To compare how informal and precarious housing in different topographic contexts influenced community resilience, this research examines three case studies from the Americas (Peru, Uruguay, and Southern US). Methods included semi-structured interviews, architectural documentation, and analyses of secondary data. This study reveals informal housing characteristics and its underlying processes in different geographical and cultural contexts were critical for communities to address local challenges. Findings aim to provide lessons to architects, planners, and policy makers, about how community-based initiatives can enable communities to adapt to stresses while contemplating the complexities that informal housing often entail.
