Changing Asian Urban Geographies: Urbanism and Peripheral Areas

This book investigates changing geographies of fast growing Asian metropolitan regions, in particular their peripheral areas. Through examining the intersection of global suburbanisation and Asian urbanism, it depicts a complex (sub)urban world in Asia. The chapters in this book were originally published in Urban Geography.
