This was linked to an improvement in productivity and a reduction in the incidence of extreme poverty. But the region's cities have struggled to cope with the pressure of population growth on land, housing, infrastructure, basic services, and the environment. As a result, urbanization in South Asia remains underleveraged in its ability to deliver widespread improvements in both prosperity and livability. Leveraging Urbanization in South Asia is about the state of South Asia's urbanization and the market and policy failures that have taken the region's urban areas to where they are today--and the hard policy actions needed if the region's cities are to leverage urbanization better. This publication provides original empirical and diagnostic analysis of urbanization and related economic trends in the region. It also discusses in detail the key policy areas, the most fundamental being urban governance and finance, where actions must be taken to make cities more prosperous and livable. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aUrbanization$zSouth Asia 606 $aCities and towns$xGrowth 606 $aPopulation 606 $aPopulation$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aUrbanization 615 0$aCities and towns$xGrowth. 615 0$aPopulation. 615 0$aPopulation$xEnvironmental aspects. 676 $a307.760954 700 $aEllis$b Peter D.$01806487 702 $aRoberts$b Mark$f1974- 712 02$aWorld Bank, 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955592103321 996 $aLeveraging urbanization in South Asia$94355685 997 $aUNINA
