It does not assume that religion is of the past and that the urban is secular, but instead points out that urban politics and governance often manifest religious boundaries and sensibilities-in short, that public religion is politics. The essays in this book show how projects of secularism come up against projects and ambitions of a religious nature, a particular form of contestation that takes the city as its public arena. Questioning the limits of cities like Mumbai, Singapore, Seoul, Beijing, Bangkok, and Shanghai, the authors assert that Asian cities have to be understood not as global models of futuristic city planning but as larger landscapes of spatial imagination that have specific cultural and political trajectories. Religion plays a central role in the politics of heritage that is emerging from the debris of modernist city planning. Megacities are arenas for the assertion of national and transnational aspirations as Asia confronts modernity. Cities are also sites of speculation, not only for those who invest in real estate but also for those who look for housing, employment, and salvation. In its potential and actual mobility, the sacred creates social space in which they all can meet. Handbook of Religion and the Asian City makes the comparative case that one cannot study the historical patterns of urbanization in Asia without paying attention to the role of religion in urban aspirations. 606 $aCities and towns$xReligious aspects 606 $aCities and towns$zAsia 606 $aCity planning$xReligious aspects 606 $aCity planning$zAsia 606 $aReligion and politics$zAsia 606 $aCity dwellers$xReligious life$zAsia 607 $aAsia$xReligious life and customs 607 $aAsia$xReligion 610 $aasian cities. 610 $aasian megachurches. 610 $aasian politics. 610 $aasian religions. 610 $aasian religious customs. 610 $aasian secularism. 610 $aasias urban aspirations. 610 $abuddhism. 610 $abuddhist temples. 610 $acontested space asia. 610 $aguanyin temple. 610 $amodern religion in asia. 610 $amumbai. 610 $aphilippines. 610 $apolitics of space asia. 610 $apolitics of space. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apublic religion asia. 610 $apublic religion. 610 $areligion and secularism asia. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligions of asia. 610 $areligious spaces in asia. 610 $asacred space. 610 $asingapore. 610 $asuzhou. 610 $atwelver shiites. 610 $aurban planning asia. 610 $aurban spaces in asia. 610 $aurban theory. 615 0$aCities and towns$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aCities and towns 615 0$aCity planning$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aCity planning 615 0$aReligion and politics 615 0$aCity dwellers$xReligious life 676 $a200.95/091732 702 $aVeer$b Peter van der 702 $aAli$b Kamran Asdar 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817602303321 996 $aHandbook of religion and the Asian city$93974766 997 $aUNINA
