The process-like structures within the informal settlement lead to analogies and parallelisms in the system. This generates a dynamic network of dependencies that cause a strong sense of community and leads to a direct transfer of knowledge, in which the amateur becomes the designer. Informal settlements can therefore be seen as a "laboratory" for visionary urbanism. However, at the same time a lack of restrictive parameters leads to an excessive densification of the overall structure. The pure concentration on the construction of private space leads to the neglect of the public space. Hence deficits develop in the formulation of infrastructure, the building fabric and the installation of public facilities. Combining formal and informal architecture intends to initiate a creative dynamic within the district leveraging the advantages of both approaches that ensures a sustained revaluation for the neighbourhood.
