The \u003cem\u003eRoutledge Handbook of Urbanization in Southeast Asia\u003c\/em\u003e offers a collection of the major streams and themes in the studies of the cities in the region. A focus on the urbanization process rather than the city as an object opens the topic more broadly to bring together different perspectives. This timely handbook presents these diverse views to build a clearer understanding of theoretical contributions of urban studies in Southeast Asia and to provide a complete collection of scholarly works that are thematically structured and a useful tool for teaching urbanization in Southeast Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing the introduction by the editor, the handbook is structured along central, emerging themes.

It is significant because its shifts the focus from the economic role of urban centers to a concern with the \"urban condition\" recognizing the human challenges of the of urban life which is now a reality for the majority of Southeast Asians. Its interdisciplinary approach encompasses themes such as patterns and the production of urban space, processes of the urban transition (including migration), development discontents, environmental governance and alternative urban development strategies.
