Abstract
ABSTRACT Liminal dwellings are self-built units without a predetermined urban planning permit and architectural plans generating ambiguous, reflexive, and change-inducing in-between neighbourhoods. Migrants from the Republic of Kosovo inhabit self-built shelters, which stimulate contextual and communal intensification of cities. Contextual addresses the spatial network established between inhabitants and their destinations in the city, and communal intensification reviles neighbourly connections. Using in-depth semi-structured interviews, diaries, and personal essays during data gathering, participants’ lived experiences were recorded in informal settlements “Bijela Gora” and “Meljine,” located in the east and west periphery of the southern region of Montenegro. Interpretative phenomenological analysis is used as a qualitative research method to survey participants’ experiences of liminalities captured via migrants’ destinations in the city, the neighbourhoods’ organisation, social trust, and repercussions from the alternation of sheds. Rather than comprehending poverty as individual misfortune, these categories are useful for altering future urban and communal developments.
