Urban growth and development in Asia.: (Making the cities) - Volume 1,

First published in 1999, this volume begins with a panoramic survey of the drama of Asian Urbanization, based on the inaugural plenary lecture given to the 5th Asian Urbanization Conference held in London.

In the following chapters many experts and practitioners from different countries and cities provide a stimulating portrayal of the processes and outcomes of one of the greatest shifts of population (not just absolutely but proportionately as well) ever to have occurred in human history.
