The books discusses how, in the majority of cases, urban change has come about primarily as the result of visionary leaders, on national, regional and local levels. It also makes clear that the less successful cities have tended to lack such leaders.Routledge advances in Asia-Pacific studies ;9.Urban policyAsiaCase studiesCity planningAsiaCase studiesUrbanizationAsiaCase studiesCities and townsAsiaGrowthCase studiesUrban policyCity planningUrbanizationCities and townsGrowth307.76/09571.14bclNas P870213MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783449903321Directors of urban change in Asia3700995UNINA
