The largest cities in Pacific Asia are the engines of their
countries' economic growth, seats of national and regional
political power, and repositories of the nation's culture and
heritage. The economic changes impacting large cities interact with
political forces along with social cultural concerns, and in the
process also impact the neighbourhoods of the city. Neighbourhoods
for the City in Pacific Asia looks at local collective action and
city government responses and its impact on the neighbourhood and
the city. A multi-sited comparative approach is taken in studying
local action in five important cities (Bangkok, Hong Kong, Seoul,
Singapore and Taipei) in Pacific Asia. With site selection in these
five cities guided by local experts, neighbourhood issues
associated with the fieldsites are explored through interviews with
a variety of stakeholders involved in neighourhood building and
change. The book enables comparisons across a number of key issues
confronting the city: heritage (Bangkok and Taipei), local
community involved provisioning of amenities (Seoul and Singapore),
placemaking versus place marketing (Bangkok and Hong Kong). Cities
are becoming increasingly important as centers for politics,
citizen engagement and governance. The collaborative efforts city
governments establish with local communities become an important
way to address the liveability of cities.
