Abstract
The Institutionalization of "microbuses" as the mainstay of Lima's transit system is used as a case to illustrate how informal institutions evolve in Peru through a dialectic between popular and dominant sectors, each employing a distinctive style of planning: "generative planning" for the popular sectors and "regulative planning" for the dominant sectors. The two planning styles are described paradigmatically. Though generative planning is common among the popular sectors, the dominant sectors employ it in their own informal institutions and private affairs—and where the government lacks coercive force, its regulations are implemented informally in ways that resemble the generative planning of the popular sectors, (informal sector, urban planning, political economy, public transportation, Peru)
