This book explores how and why civic spaces are used by different
communities in Asia and what role urban governance and public
participation play in the support or demise of communities. Using
case studies of contemporary city life throughout, the contributors
provide insights into the importance and value of civic space,
arguing that civic spaces provide not only the physical sites for
civil society to function autonomously; but also provide a sense of
place in the form of identity, meaning, memory, history and
linkages with the wider world. Each chapter focuses on the
production of and access to civic spaces in a particular Asian
city, as well as examples of successes and failures that can inform
urban policy regarding inclusive, tolerant and socially vibrant
city life through focused attention on the provision and continuity
of civic space. This book is designed to provide information to
policymakers, researchers and students of the developing world
regarding the importance and value of civic space in terms of
creating and supporting urban communities. As such, The Politics of
Civic Space in Asia will be an invaluable resource for those
interested in urban planning, urban design, public policy and
political science, as well as Asian studies more generally.
