The growth of urban real estate development has been a key recent
facet of the globalization of Asian economies. This book compares
and analyses how the aspirations of Asian states have been
reflected in the course of (re-)writing the urban landscape, and
considers the role of scalar politics. The contributors argue that
mega-projects embody the dynamics of the multi-scalar strategic
relations that determine the process and outcome of urbanization.
Bringing together a range of urbanization experiences from South
Korea, Taiwan, India, Turkey, Hong Kong SAR, Mainland China and
Indonesia, the book explores the role of specific political and
economic interests in shaping cities, and the role of local
communities, nascent advocacy groups and popular struggles in
contesting the state-led mega-projects.
