Description

The cities of Asia and the Pacific are at the heart of development in one of the world's most populous and culturally diverse regions. This collection of research explores how economic, social, and political factors have shaped the growth and characteristics of major cities across the region. From Tokyo to Manila, Bangkok to Singapore, and Auckland to Kuala Lumpur, these 16 cities exemplify the complex patterns of development that have emerged in this vast and dynamic region. By examining trends and interactions between local researchers and contributors, this book provides a unique insight into the realities of city development, including domestic migration, spatial fragmentation, and economic experiments. This collection will be of great interest to those studying or working in fields such as economics, politics, geography, sociology, urban planning, and economic development, particularly those focused on the Asian and Pacific region.
