It uses autoethnography as qualitative research method. It doubts the accepted idea of various types of cities coexisting within the same urban center, being the majority of them different versions of informality. It argues that such atomization of the city, pigeonholing informality as a feature of poverty, allows urban theoreticians to avoid their responsibility. This manifests itself in the creation of a person, Us, which stands outside of Them, the academic peers of developed countries, and of You, the inhabitants of those out-of-all-order cities.

Se usa la autoetnografía como método de investigación cualitativa. Se cuestiona la idea aceptada de que en la ciudad colombiana coexisten varios tipos de ciudad, siendo la mayoría de ellos diferentes versiones de informalidad. Se arguye que esta atomización de la ciudad, encasillando la informalidad como característica de la pobreza, le permite al teórico urbano deshacerse de la responsabilidad. Esto se manifiesta en la creación de una persona, Nosotros, que está por fuera de Ellos, los pares académicos de los países desarrollados, y Ustedes, los habitantes de esas ciudades fuera de todo orden. Se propone que la informalidad es una manera de hacer la ciudad, aun por Nosotros, quienes pretendemos vivir fuera de ella.
