I. Fast cities and 'new' urban utopias -- pt. II. Entrepreneurial states -- pt. III. Mega-urbanization and masterplanning.With contributions from an international range of established and emerging scholars drawing upon real world examples, this title is the first to use the lens of speed to examine the postcolonial 'urban revolution'. It explores the contradictions between intended and unintended outcomes of fast cities and points to their fault lines between state sovereignty, capital accumulation and citizenship. It presents urban scholars with the theoretical, empirical and methodological challenges of mega-urbanization in the global south, as well as highlighting new theoretical agendas and empirical analyses that these new forms of city-making bring to the fore.Routledge studies in urbanism and the city.UrbanizationDeveloping countriesCase studiesCity planningDeveloping countriesCase studiesUrban policyDeveloping countriesCase studiesUrbanizationCity planningUrban policy307.1/216091724307.76091724Datta Ayona905134Shaban Abdul846791MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910149174203321Mega-urbanization in the global South2024411UNINA
