ABSTRACT
The IA’s use of Corridors, Attractors, and Protectors entails the ability to adapt to changing conditions, as well as novel forms of spatial organization, administration, operation, governance, community engagement, financing, and maintenance. Adoption of IA initiatives should have a profound impact on academic studies of urbanization and professional practices; it can also lead to legal and institutional reforms. This chapter illustrates how the model is based on rather simple principles and design strategies that are likely to induce significant changes, provided that there is commitment from the public sector, NGOs, private organizations, and settlers to the IA principles. The following sections discuss the most relevant factors for enacting IA.
