​

In his book “Planning and design for future informal settlements” David Gouverneur suggests the use of landscape armatures as a tool to frame and plan the future expansion cities through informal settlements in the cities of the Global South. This piece of theory challenged the common perception
of informals settlements as negative parts of the city and instead acknowledges the fact that the expansion of these cities will inevitable
come from these forms of housing. Gouverneur also argues that these expansions don’t need to be planned in the conventional way that we understand of planning cities, but need to be framed, through landscape.
