Description

The development of new towns in east and south-east Asia is largely a phenomenon of the last forty years. The alleviation of population pressure in the large cities has been a major objective of new towns in the region, but they have also been developed to stimulate economic and industrial growth in under-developed areas. This book provides a study of the variety of planning objectives and principles, characteristics and problems on new town development in Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, China and the Philippines. Urban and regional geographers; planners.
