Description
The growing urban population in Southeast Asia, the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis, and the beginning of a new millennium are substantial reasons to warrant an exploration of a spectrum of related issues faced by cities in Southeast Asia. The third book of the Asian Social Science Series, Critical Reflections of Cities in Southeast Asia comprises a collection of essays which revolves around three main themes: attempts at (re)conceptualizing cities in Southeast Asia; studies of the competition between cities for foreign investments; reviews of interventions by various actors at the local scale. For those who are interested in the politics, economics and cultures of Southeast Asia or in comparative analyses of cities located within the region, this book provides extensive information and diverse perspectives, which are both refreshing and enlightening.
