- 요약While much of the urban informality literature centers on housing practices among the urban poor and working classes, this dissertation shifts focus to the housing practices of the "missing middle" demographic in the Global South. It examines why middle-class households choose to reside in and invest in informally developed mixed-income settlements, which are often portrayed as "unplanned" and undesirable within urban planning and policy discourse.This research is grounded in Delhi's unauthorized colonies as examples of mixed-income informal settlements and DDA housing as examples of formal developments. It uses a multi-case, mixed-methods approach, drawing on urban mapping, oral histories, household interviews, and structured surveys. The study helps fill the knowledge gap on middle-class housing practices and how this demographic perceives formal and informal housing forms in relation to their immediate and long-term housing needs and aspirations. The findings show that middle-class housing decisions extend beyond tenure and affordability. Residents assess housing through the lens of social identity and control, household structure, and aspirations for upward mobility and intergenerational stability.As the middle class continues to grow in the Global South, this study demonstrates the demographic's active role in the development of mixed-income informal settlements. It contributes to the emerging global scholarship on middle-class informality, extending existing understandings of informality as a mode of urban production. Presenting a demand-side perspective, it aims to inform more responsive urban policy and planning rooted in grassroots development practices. The findings challenge dominant planning paradigms and highlight how informality produces adaptable urban forms and housing typologies. It advances urban theory and offers insights for experts seeking to improve livability in informally developed areas.
