In the attempt to develop the universally accepted vision, the sustainable development goals set out a single normative guidelines for all cities, sometimes disregarding the unique features that mark the particularity of each context. A major purpose of this paper will be, to challenge the universal understanding of informal areas. Access to information is proposed as variables to indicate or address questions of urban inequality. The study intends to adopt Empirical and grounded research. The practical significance of the research is to foster change in the perception of informal real estate agency, which plays a significant role in shaping the real estate agency practice in the city.
