These are the “resilient cities.”

. . . the IMF and the World Bank’s Structural Adjustment Programmes, to put it bluntly but accurately, drove the creation of modern slums. The recipe for the creation of slums has been rapid urban growth in the context of structural adjustment, currency devaluations, state retrenchments, and little or no housing provision. Viewing the state as a “market enabler” led to the privatization of utilities and services, and massive decreases in provision; ideas of the magic power of people’s capitalism providing land titles simply accelerated social differentiation in the slums, and did nothing to aid renters, the actual majority of the poor in many cities. For individuals, their various needs—affordable commodities, accommodation close to jobs, security, and the possibility of owning property—were simply ignored by the imposition of ill-suited neoliberal “boot-strap capitalism.”²⁶
