It has been divided into three sections: The first section is on rural interventions as they influence urbanization and its problems/solutions. The second focuses on urban governance, infrastructure programs, service delivery reforms and their evaluation. The third and final section focuses on urbanization and the environment. In the first section, we present evaluations of India?s rural programs including the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), and of India?s Total Sanitation Campaign (Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan). This section covers the transition from rural to urban areas, and highlights coping mechanisms in urban areas and policy implications for urban governance, from the viewpoint of rural migrants. The section on urban governance, infrastructure and service delivery is the most in-depth one and consists of papers that present state-of-the-art research on many aspects of infrastructure such as cost and time overruns, risks and their mitigation, assessments of the metro rail, and services such as solid waste management. The focus of the final section is on urbanization and the environment. Here we examine land use change in India, the relationship between urban form and residential energy use in Bandung, Indonesia, and end by depicting a cautiously optimistic view of Asia?s urbanization-environment nexus. 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aFinance, Public 606 $aEnvironmental law 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aSpace in economics 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aPublic Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34000 606 $aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U16002 606 $aEnvironmental Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000 606 $aRegional/Spatial Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aFinance, Public. 615 0$aEnvironmental law. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aSpace in economics. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aPublic Economics. 615 24$aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice. 615 24$aEnvironmental Economics. 615 24$aRegional/Spatial Science. 676 $a307.76095 702 $aSridhar$b Kala Seetharam$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWan$b Guanghua$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298525603321 996 $aURBANIZATION in Asia$91201532 997 $aUNINA
