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
