urbanism to highlight the connections between different Asian
models and practices of urbanization. It includes important
contributions from a respected group of scholars across a range of
generations, disciplines, and sites of study.
* Describes the new theoretical framework of
‘worlding’
* Substantially expands and updates the themes of capital and
culture
* Includes a unique collection of authors across generations,
disciplines, and sites of study
* Demonstrates how references to Asian power, success, and
hegemony make possible urban development and limit urban
politics
