This book is about African and Asian cities. Illustrated through
selected case cities, the book brings together a rich collection of
papers by leading scholars and practitioners in Africa and Asia to offer
empirical analysis and up-to-date discussions and assessments of the
urban challenges and solutions for their cities. A number of key topics
concerning housing, sustainable urban development and climate change in
Africa and Asia are explored along with how policy interventions and
partnerships deliver specific forms of urban development. It is intended
for all who are interested in the state of the cities and urban
development in Africa and Asia. Africa and Asia present, in many ways,
useful lessons in dealing with the burgeoning urban population, and the
problems surrounding this influx of people and climate change in the
developing word.
