At a time when Asia is rapidly growing in global influence, this
much-needed and insightful book bridges two major current policy
topics in order to offer a unique study of the latest smart city
archetypes emerging throughout Asia. Highlighting the smart city
aspirations of Asian countries and their role in Asian governments'
new development strategies, this book draws out timely narratives
and insights from a uniquely Asian context and policymaking space.
Each carefully curated chapter studies a national or local
government-led smart city project and how it specifically relates
to local institutions, political dynamics and development
challenges in a region that is rapidly urbanising and growing
economically. Collectively, these pressing contributions offer a
comparative look at the policies and practices of smart cities,
seen through the lens of local scholars and experts. Thoughtful and
engaging, this book will prove valuable reading for students and
scholars of public policy and Asian studies, as well as those with
a specific interest in urban studies and planning, and science and
technology policy. Policymakers and practitioners will also benefit
from the rich information and up-to-date analysis on offer.
