- This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of which qualities a city needs to include to be a so called compact city, and what strategies are developed to cope with informal urbanization and urban compactness. More precisely, the paper explores the intersection between informal urbanization processes, informal economy and networks of solidarity and citizenship, in the context of compact cities. The paper is informed by twenty-five in-depth interviews with residents living in informal and highly densified neighbourhoods in Havana, Cuba, and also by site observations. The paper concludes how the street, the human, the neighbour, housing affordability and local imaginaries of an ideal city, are significant compact city qualities. It also shows associated strategies enacted by residents to draw from these qualities, such as land invasion, self-help urbanism, learning and innovation, economic entrepreneurship, networks of solidarity and even imagining the city.
