Title
The Emerging Asian City: Concomitant Urbanities & Urbanisms,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Asian urban landscape contains nearly half of the planets inhabitants and more than half of its slum population living in some of its oldest and densest cities. It encompasses some of the worlds oldest civilizations and colonizations, and today contains some of the worlds fastest growing cities and economies. As such Asian cities create concomitant imagery polarizations of poverty and wealth, blurred lines between formality and informality, and stark juxtapositions of ancient historic places with shimmering new skylines.This book embraces the complexity and ambiguity of the Asian urban landscape, and surveys its bewildering array of multifarious urbanities and urbanisms. Twentyfour essays offer scholarly reflections and positions on the complex forces and issues shaping Asian cities today, looking at why Asian cities are different from the West and whether they are treading a different path to their futures. Their combined narrative spanning from Turkey to Japan and Mongolia to Indonesia is framed around three sections: Traditions reflects on indigenous urbanisms and historic places, Tensions reflects on the legacies of Asias EastWest dialectic through both colonialism and modernism and Transformations examines Asias new emerging utopias and urban aspirations.The book claims that the histories and destinies of cities across various parts of Asia are far too enmeshed to unpack or oversimplify. Avoiding the categorization of Asian cities exclusively by geographic location (southeast, Middle East), or the convenient tagging of the term Asian on selective regional parts of the continent, it takes a broad intellectual view of the Asian urban landscape as a 'bothand' phenomenon; as a series of diverse confluences geographic, historic and political extending from the deserts of the Persian Gulf region to the Pearl River Delta. Arguing for Asian cities to be taken seriously on their own terms, this book represents Asia as a fount of extraordinary knowledge that can challenge our fundamental preconceptions of what cities are and ought to be.
