The ten essays in Future Challenges of Cities in Asia engage with
some of the most critical urban questions of the near future across
Asia. These comprise socio-economic and cultural transitions as a
result of urbanization; environmental challenges, especially
questions of climate change, natural disasters, and environmental
justice; and the challenges of urban infrastructure, built form,
and new emerging types of urban settlements. The essays demonstrate
that it is increasingly difficult to conceptualize the 'urban' as
one particular type of settlement. Rather, it would be more
accurate to say that the 'urban' characterizes a global transition
in the way we are beginning to think about settlements. This book
is of interest not only to researchers interested in comparative
and inter-disciplinary research, but also to urban practitioners
more broadly, illustrating through concrete cases the challenges
that urban regions in Asia and beyond are facing, and the various
opportunities that exist for dealing with these challenges.
