Here, we develop the concept of blended (in)formality to move beyond binary approaches which classify these communities as having either formal or informal status. Drawing on McFarlane’s (2018, 2021) notion of fragments, we explore how formal planning and spontaneous unplanned urban interventions do not merely co-exist but work together. We formulate a public interest of fragments to demonstrate how communities can benefit from approaches to planning which employ a more fluid understanding of the interactions between the formal and informal. date: 2023-08-28 date_type: published publisher: Taylor & Francis official_url: https://doi.org/10.1080/02697459.2023.2247249 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2036659 doi: 10.1080/02697459.2023.2247249 lyricists_name: Andres, Lauren lyricists_id: LANDR61 actors_name: Andres, Lauren actors_id: LANDR61 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: ES/P00198X/2 [Economic and Social Research Council] full_text_status: public publication: Planning Practice and Research citation: Andres, Lauren; Denoon-Stevens, Stuart; Jones, Phil; (2023) Planners, blended (in)formality and a public interest of fragments.
