Reviews
"The city is ever evolving. The Asian settings, in many ways, are arbitrarily put together into a continental category. Each case highlighted in the book accentuates the unique social, economic, and political circumstances embedded in that city. The editors have successfully reminded us that Asia is more heterogeneous than homogenous. History, aspirations, and memories make each place distinctive." - Can-Seng Ooi, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Pacific Affairs: Volume 94, No. 3 - September 2021

Synopsis
At a time when intense dynamics of urban development of Asian cities puzzle and disorient, Ideas of the City in Asian Settings offers knowledge about the concepts, representations, and ideas that lie beneath the historical and contemporary production of cities in Asia, in order to deepen our understanding of the processes and meanings of urban development in the continent. The book sheds more light on the vast array of rules and innovations and aspirations that make cities into complex objects that are continuously 'in the making'. Because Asian cities have experienced unprecedented dynamics of urban development during the last fifty years, they are considered as crucial places to question the perspectives that multiple actors project onto changing urban environments, as well as the evolution of the role of cities in globalisation., The book explores the multiple and changing ideas, concepts, and representations that shape contemporary cities in Asia in a historical perspective.
