Based on fieldwork in Malaysia, this book provides a critical examination of the country”s main urban region. The study first provides a theoretical reworking of geographies of modernity and details the emergence of a globally-oriented, ”high-tech” stage of national development. The Multimedia Super Corridor is framed in terms of a political vision of a ”fully developed” Malaysia before the author traces an imagined trajectory through surrounding landscapes in the late 1990s. As the first book length academic analysis of the development of Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan Area and the construction of the Multimedia Super Corridor, this work offers a situated, contextual account which will appeal to all those with research interests in Asian Urban Studies and Asian Sociology.
