I am doing a literature review on the broad number of issues related to informal settlements and illegal construction in the Global North. I would be grateful for your recommendations on country case studies (including city case studies) in North America (USA, Canada), EU 28 (all countries), East and South East Europe (non EU), Central Asia (Incl. Russian Federation, Ukraine, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, etc.), pan-national and international comparisons, challenges identified, lessons learned.
For the EU, you could check with Marja Elsinga from TU Delft - she's doing some research on this issue as far as I know

Alice, Erincik, Antonio, Thank you very much! Your suggestions are very helpful!
You may look into USA-based research by myself and others (Peter Ward, in particular) on informal colonia settlements and newer "model subdivisions" in Texas (USA). Also work on informal and self-help housing in major urban areas by Jake Wegmann, Vinit Mukhija, Richard Harris, and others. Hope that helps.
I have a publication with me entitled "Upgrading Urban Slums in Nigeria: Issues, Strategies and Solutions" by Professor Mustapha Zubairu, NBRRI-FMST Proceedings of Intnl Housing Summit on achieving affordable Housing in Nigeria, Abuja - Nigeria 2-4 June 2014, pgs 54-64. I am not sure how you wish to obtain a copy of the paper. kind regards.
