Home to more city dwellers than any other region, and the locus of
many of the world's most populous metropolitan areas, Asia is
moving to centre stage in popular and academic debates about
planetary urban futures. Among diverse urban Asias are landscapes,
images, visions and aspirations that conjure new forms of the
future. This volume comprises essays examining intersections of the
urban and futurity. While attentive to emergent forms of urban
Asia, contributors also examine futures past, the afterlives of
historical projects, and archaeologies of the future. While
authoritative forms of future city-making feature in several
essays, others focus on everyday engagement with futurity. Many
essays provide ethnographic and field-based empirical insights into
urban lifeworlds that are coming into being, while others explore
the theoretical and political implications of urban futures from
Asia.
