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\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the main features of 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century      urbanization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\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\n\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\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThis timely, conceptual and empirical book will appeal to students of urbanization, architects involved in urban policy and planning, and researchers alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction.- Shifting urban dynamics: An overview.- From megacity to megacity region: Is an Asian paradigm emerging?- Asian MCR: Urban-Rural interface and multidimensionality of the spread region.- Scale and where the three prongs meet.- The national capital region, Delhi, India: An empirical exploration.- Concluding thoughts.","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53195381113175,"sku":"9783030426514","price":79.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-asian-megacity-region-a-conceptual-approach-9783030426514","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
