Carvalho 1997
There is even a ‘mussequisation’ of the whole city. Ms not only surround conrete city, they interrupt it, penetrate it. Musseques looked upon as expression of explosion, an urban macrocephaly which carries in itself the germs of all threats: all violence, illicit trafficking, informalities
Ferguson 2006
Evdience of SU across Luanda - patchwork of priv secured enclaves in mineral-rich zones. Sea of disconnection and sec emerging in A in context of NL world order
McFarlane 2008
Enclavic, gated comms, spaces of enclosure facilitaed by foreign capital & labour
Power 2012
General splintering urbanism in Angola. Clearest enclavic spaces are around oil prod & oil companies - Chinese companies. Live in compounds and enclaves, no interaction with natives
2009 Government Approved National Urbanism and Housing Programme
Plans for eradication of many existing informals and reloc pop into new sites around city - seen as opposite to futuristic modernity that Angola wants Relocate to sites around city and lead to promise of ‘social housing’ for poor. Built 25km from old downtown - miles away form where people actually want to be - case of out of site, out of mind
Kiala 2009
Kilamba Kiaxi (new city) - state demolished old KK and reconstructed it. Presidential promised during 2008 elections to build 1mn houses over next 4 years - simply hasn’t happened. Fancy electoral promises to get votes.
Rodrigues 2008
^ing atomization of L’s social structure as spatial frag of comms is eroding social ties and networks contributing to wider & political fragmentation. Disrupting it’s social fabric, not just physical but also social destruction.
Grest 1995
MOZAMBIQUE Socialism - people’s power Frelimo delegration - local urban bodies estab by Port were reformulated into Conselhos Exectivos - included periurban & cidade de canico areas formerly outside remit of urban gov - typically areas overlooked by Port. Estab grupos dinamizadores at NBD level for political control. When Renamo entered into battle- led to first organized land invasions into city areas - discontent mounted amoung urban citizens -> widespread state disengagement. Informal exercise of power - emergence of local ‘dictatorships’

Pitcher et al. 2010
Proliferation of security practices - elites turning to sec to protect
Lindell 2008
Study of governance of urban market places in Maputo highlights multiple sites of governance at work. A pervasive inf of urban living - underlined by great econ & soc uncertainty and where many urban citz rely on provisional identities. Shifting loyalties and collaborations to access opps and survive in city. Highly unstable, fragemented and fluid - urban governance of extensive informalisation.
Sumich 2010
