Synopsis

City Cluster Development: Toward an Urban-led Development Strategy for Asia gives Asia's rapid urbanization a fresh look and analyzes the region's potential for city cluster development. An economic strategy designed to alleviate poverty and improve quality of life, city cluster development hinges on infrastructure and services geared towards a city's foremost economic strengths, while taking into account the involvement of rural areas surrounding it. The goal is to make each region's urban nucleus and outlying provinces a hub of self-sufficiency and self-sustaining economic growth. This 2008 study explores how city cluster development can work and be customized for different parts of Asia, and features some case studies in India.
