Description
For the first time in history, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities, and most of these cities are in Asia.
Here are the challenges – population explosion, pollution, destruction of eco-systems, water shortages, sanitation, inhuman social environments – and here are some of the solutions provided by visionary architects, designers and planners.
A superbly illustrated, authoritative exploration of urbanization – and all that implies – in the world’s fastest-changing continent
Going far beyond architecture, the facts and figures concerning the cities’ expansion and the ecological implications of their enormous growth
Spans the entire continent of Asia, from the glittering conurbations of the Dubai and Abu Dhabi to the vast metropolis of Seoul, home to over 23 million people
Maps, diagrams and graphs complement the breathtaking photographs, adding factual heft to the visual experience
