Abstract
Informal and formalized settlements present unique forms of informality that are significant for research on the urban development of cities in the Global South. This study adds to the body of research on informal settlements by adding methodological tools to analyze the implicit rules of informal urban areas from a typo-morphological perspective. To ground this research, this article examines the urban morphology of informal built landscapes in two large urban agglomerations: São Paulo and Manila. Ten cases have been identified, mapped, and analyzed to show their morphology in terms of street configuration patterns, service delivery, location in city structure, terrain, public space, access to plots, building typology, negotiation and organization of inhabitants, order of construction of buildings and streets, as well as control over buildings and plots. This paper focuses on a morphological discussion of informal urban patterns, providing a means for urban practice to encourage the creation of more just cities for the many urban settlers arriving in cities globally.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
