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. \u003c\/p\u003eAmidst 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.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of this book is to:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eUnderstand the main features of 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century      urbanization\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNote the limitations of current approaches (e.g. disparate      scales, city-centric views, inadequate data sets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArticulate a pragmatically framed three-pronged      approach (scale-based, trans-urban, multi-dimensional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemonstrate 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\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDiscuss the next steps for the      field as a whole: questions to be raised and directions to be explored for      further study.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis timely, conceptual and empirical book will appeal to students of urbanization, architects involved in urban policy and planning, and researchers alike.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-04-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030426484\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-42649-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 225\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47692156567692,"sku":"9783030426484","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030426484.jpg?v=1776691019","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030426484","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
