It encompasses some of the world's oldest civilizations and colonizations, and today contains some of the world's fastest growing cities and economies. As such Asian cities create concomitant imagery - polarizations of poverty and wealth, blurred lines between formality and informality, and stark juxtapositions of ancient historic places with shimmering new skylines.This book embraces the complexity and ambiguity of the 606 $aCities and towns$zAsia 606 $aUrbanization$zAsia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCities and towns 615 0$aUrbanization 676 $a307.76095 701 $aBharne$b Vinayak$0874634 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462688903321 996 $aThe emerging Asian city$91952803 997 $aUNINA
