“…In Indian cities, the everyday state appears as the frontline water engineer or local politician who provides water access in informal settlements, often in return for small bribes or votes. Importantly in these studies, informal water supply lies within public authority and state power, not outside of it (Anand, 2011;Coelho, 2005;Ranganathan, 2014a) That the everyday state itself is complicit in facilitating access to informal water in informal areas is consistent with a broader literature on urban informality (AlSayyad & Roy, 2004;Portes, Castells, & Benton, 1989;Roy, 2005). In this literature, informality does not lie outside the state and its formal regulatory domains, but is a discretionary mode of statecraft in which regulations are flexibly reinterpreted or suspended all together.…”

“…Jacobs 1961;Holston 1989;Boeing 2016a). Modernist planners and architects confused geometric visual order for well-functioning, sustainable social order in the built environment (Roy 2005;Sussman and Hollander 2015). Scholars following in the wake of Jane Jacobs have argued that simplified single-purpose urban design destroys functional capacity and synergy.…”

“…Asimismo, la ciudad popular, como categoría de análisis, permite trascender la dualidad entre lo formal y lo informal. Primero, porque la informalidad no puede resumirse a un conflicto con el Estado o el mercado formal o a un incumplimiento de sus normativas dado que, generalmente, las actividades de producción informal del espacio se retroalimentan o vinculan -en diversos grados y formas-con los gobiernos locales, las políticas públicas o los mercados denominados «formales» (Herzer et al, 2008;Roy, 2005). En segundo lugar, la irregularidad o informalidad urbana no es una característica que se despliega de manera homogénea sobre el territorio, sino que puede ser desagregada en tres formas: urbanística, constructiva y jurídica (Abramo, 2012), superponiéndose y produciendo diversos tipos de tejido urbano.…”
