Informal settlements: Da concepção do termo à sua transformação em agenda quente de pesquisa - Análise culturômica e tendências acadêmicas

This is the second in a series of four Discussion Papers (DP) that are part of the survey How are Cities Divided: the invention of informal settlements. The goal of this series of DPs was to carry out a culturomic and scientometric study on the use of the term informal settlements contextualized by previous geopolitical and public policies analysis. Specifically in this DP, the quantitative results of the culturomic study are presented, associated with the use of the Ngram Viewer tool and the basis of books published in the last two centuries, as well as the bibliometric study of national and international theses and dissertations that deal with the subject, from the ProQuest databasis and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. The results are discussed and contextualized with previous findings explored in greater detail in the first DP and are complemented by the two volumes that follow.
