Duncan argues that contemporary definitions of U.S. feminism must be expanded to recognize the ways in which Asian American women have resisted and continue to challenge the various forms of oppression in their lives.

On one level it provides a major rethinking of the role of infrastructure in urban society since the creation of networked infrastructure in the early twentieth century. On another, it explores the changing paradigms of urban development through the fundamental question of how decisions are made.With a focus on Africa's fast-growing secondary towns, where 70 per cent of the urban population live, the book explains how urban infrastructure provides the key to the relationship between econSustainable urban developmentAfricaSustainable urban developmentGovernment policyAfricaUrban ecology (Sociology)AfricaCity planningAfricaSustainable urban developmentSustainable urban developmentGovernment policyUrban ecology (Sociology)City planning307.1416096Abbott John1947-,1488886MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790444903321Green infrastructure for sustainable urban design in Africa3709305UNINA
