The revolution from the peripheries: the new address of GDP
The growth of home-based entrepreneurship, digital informal work, and neighborhood and periphery microeconomies reveals new forms of production and income that challenge regulations, infrastructure, and urban planning.

We will raise discussions about formalization, inequality of access, economic security, and the role of cities in supporting (or limiting) these initiatives.
