Summary note
With Asia's cities undergoing unprecedented growth in the 21st century, lauded the 'urban century' by many, 'Sustainable Cities in Asia' provides a timely examination of the challenges facing cities across the continent including some of the projects, approaches and solutions that are currently being tested. This book uses numerous case studies, analysing topical issues ranging from city cycling in India, to green spaces in China, to the use of community-led energy generation projects in post-Fukushima Japan.
