Synopsis

This book explores how Asia's fast-growing cities can fulfill their potential as engines of economic prosperity and provide a livable environment for all citizens.

Major challenges faced by Asian cities include poor planning, a lack of affordable housing, inequalities, pollution, climate vulnerabilities, and urban infrastructure deficits. The book's 19 articles unwrap these challenges and present solutions focusing on smart and inclusive planning, sustainable transport and energy, innovative financing, and resilience and rejuvenation.
