This collection of edited papers forms part of the Compact City
Series, creating a companion volume to The Compact City (1996) and
Achieving Sustainable Urban Form (2000) and extends the debate to
developing countries. This book examines and evaluates the merits
and defects of compact city approaches in the context of developing

examined by a wide range of international academics and
practitioners.
This volume by urban planners and architects assesses the current
state of play between urban theory, policy and architectural and
planning practice in developing countries. It explains and
criticises what is happening in cities in an era now dominated by
neoliberal development policy, compares and contrasts the various
policy and planning approaches, and explores how they are changing
the role of architects, planners and other professionals. The
contributors focus on the principal issues that exist in urban
environmental strategy, the spatial restructuring of cities, and
the attempts to foster more participation in urban programmes and
management. The originality of thought, the diversity of case
material and the specific policy focus make this book an important
contribution to the formulation of future urban strategies in the
South.
