WIEGO Urban Policies Research Report Series

The series profiles content that makes either an empirical or theoretical contribution to existing knowledge about the urban working poor, their living and work environments and their organisations. Particular attention is paid to examining policy and planning paradigms and practice. The series includes statistical profiles of urban informal work and critical analysis of data gathering techniques. Attention is paid to methodological issues and innovations as well as suggestions for future research. All papers are peer reviewed. This Series is co-ordinated by WIEGO’s Urban Policies Programme Director, Caroline Skinner, who is based at the African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town.
