However, any approach to studying these regions must adopt a multi-dimensional and trans-urban perspective; otherwise, we Without such an approach, we cannot truly make meaningful decisions about growth management and sustainable development for such regions. Amidst the sweeping demographic and structural shifts produced by global urbanization, Asian urbanization has a fascinating and prominent role. Asian urbanization is heterogeneous, and more accurately constitutes ?phenomena? than a ?phenomenon.? However, despite this diversity, there are certain common features that we can identify. One of them is the Asian ?megacity region?? the administrative and/or delineated territory of mixed urban-rural landscape surrounding a giant metropolis. The purpose of this book is to: Understand the main features of 21st century urbanization Note the limitations of current approaches (e.g. disparate scales, city-centric views, inadequate data sets) Articulate a pragmatically framed three-pronged approach (scale-based, trans-urban, multi-dimensional) Demonstrate the application of such an approach with a case study of one of the most important megacity regions in South Asia, the Delhi National Capital Region, underscoring the methodological requirements of such an approach Discuss the next steps for the field as a whole: questions to be raised and directions to be explored for further study. This timely, conceptual and empirical book will appeal to students of urbanization, architects involved in urban policy and planning, and researchers alike. 410 0$aUrban Book Series. 606 $aUrban geography 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aRegional Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913050 615 0$aUrban geography. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 14$aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns). 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aRegional Development. 676 $a307.76095 700 $aMookherjee$b Debnath$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0307071 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910392718403321 996 $aThe Asian Megacity Region$91989915 997 $aUNINA
