Opis

This book explores the role of culture in the urban transformation of Asian cities. Departing from the strictly economic treatment of urbanization that dominates urban geography, Kim draws on both comparative analysis and individual studies of major cities in the region to demonstrate the pervasive influence of culture on Asian urbanization.

Recenzje

The coverage of these essays is extensive....the editors have brought together a number of stimulating essays which illustrate both the power and the weakness of cultural explanations. The result is a valuable addition to the literature on a theme which is currently of much interest. - Rupert Hodder. Journal of Energy Literature. 1998.
