Writings on the Asian City: Framing an Inclusive Approach to Urban Design Cookson Smith Peter
The book examines the contemporary Asian city through the prism of urban design in assimilating new and established drivers of growth. New spatial patterns are facilitated by tranches of urban expansion, redevelopment, regeneration and suburbanization that have emerged as by-products of both formal and informal development processes.
