Abstract
The informal city is configured and articulated as a spontaneous, diffuse or illegal city, each of them present recurring and distinctive characteristics also in relation to specific territorial contexts. After outlining the scientific background of informal and illegal cities also summarizing the Italian specificities of the last ones, the paper focuses on the dualism between the informal and the illegal city found in the analysis of the technical literature on the subject regarding spatial planning. The aim is to bring out affinities and differences between the two city models to contribute to the formulation of the correct contents of urban planning tools for their redevelopment and/or regeneration to transform especially the Italian illegal cities into livable neighborhoods.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
