Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of singularity, which emerges within the opposite binaries of formal/informal, legal/illegal, center/periphery, aiming to overcome this rationality in order to promote theoretical alternatives that make possible to re-signify the socio-spatial characteristics of the city in all its forms. It also suggests a methodological tool called the singularity mapping, from the idea of the composition plans developed by Deleuze & Guattari (1997), which interact and contribute to create strength lines of time and space to make visible the social and spatial mobility. The informal sector Suba- Tibabuyes will provide the empirical case to discuss the potentials of this conceptual and methodological alternative.
