Over dit e-boek

With cities acting as magnets for population concentration and economic growth, urban planning takes a center stage. Lack of planning can have severe social, cultural, economic and political repercussions in cities. Cities: Inclusive, Liveable, and Sustainable scrutinizes the paradigms of Urban Planning that keep at the forefront both the citizen and the environment, as essential assets of the urban community.

Organised into three distinctive parts, the book adopts a holistic perspective of urbanisation, with contributors from diverse backgrounds, ranging from government, academia, and NGOs. While capturing the current trends of urbanisation in general, it deals with inclusivity, livability and sustainability in particular. Due to its embrace of a wide spectrum of urban issues from the point of view of academics, researchers, technocrats, private sector and government officials, this book is truly unique. Across twenty chapters, the book not only encompasses the challenges of urban governance, but also provides insights on different innovations undertaken to address them in the best possible way.

Undoubtedly, Cities: Inclusive, Liveable, and Sustainable is a vital resource for students and research scholars of urban management and administration, as well as for professionals working in the field.
