Subject of this study is urban growth, public space and local (informal) economies in India. The hawkers in the streets of Kolkata are a clear example of how the informal sector moulds the cityscape and produces urban space. However, informal activities cannot be seen as isolated from urban economy. Urban economy unifies different modes of production with corresponding production relations within itself.The Kolkata case shows that disorder and order constantly interchange in the urban dialectic. Thus it calls for new patterns of interpretation. Because urban practice is cultural appropiation, not obvious but tacit. Hence the title: tacit urbanism.
