The Routledge Handbook of Planning Megacities in the Global South

Editat de Deden Rukmana
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 iun 2020
Cities are now home to 55% of the world’s population, and that number is rising. Urban populations across the world will continue to grow, including in megacities with populations over ten million. In 2016 there were 31 megacities globally, according to the United Nations’ World Cities Report, with 24 of those cities located in the Global South. That number is expected to rise to 41 by 2030, with all ten new megacities in the Global South where the processes of urbanization are intrinsically distinct from those in the Global North.
The Routledge Handbook of Planning Megacities in the Global South provides rigorous comparative analyses, discussing the challenges, processes, best practices, and initiatives of urbanization in Middle America, South America, the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. This book is indispensable reading for students and scholars of urban planning, and its significance as a resource will only continue to grow as urbanization reshapes the global population.

Recenzii

"This handbook is a timely and significant contribution to understanding the current global urban transition. The world now has almost 4 billion urban residents, and current projections suggest that over the next 30-50 years that will double to about 8 billion. Almost all urban growth for the rest of this century is expected to occur in the global south, where processes of urbanization are fundamentally different and much faster than those in the global north. Anyone who is interested in the current urbanization processes transforming the globe should read this book."
—André Sorensen, Department of Geography and Planning, University of Toronto
"Megacities have become the determining factor of life in development of the Global South. The Routledge Handbook of Planning Megacities in the Global South provides the most comprehensive assessment available, planning drawing upon research by scholars working on 27 megacities. It is an essential resource for scholars and students."
—Christopher Silver, FAICP, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Florida
"This Routledge Handbook provides an impressively wide coverage of mega cities in the Global South. These 29 in-depth cases provide not only the grounded knowledge but also new insights on the challenges to growth management, housing provision, and resilience planning. This is a remarkable reference book for researchers in urban studies and planning."
—Fulong Wu, Bartlett Professor of Planning, University College London
"Understanding the dynamics propelling megacity-region growth and change seems urgent in this era of uncertainty. Deden Rukmana has edited a timely and useful volume, which highlights planning’s varied roles in megacities and governance, drawing from a novel set of established and emerging scholars from Global North and South institutions."
—Lois M. Takahashi, Houston Flournoy Professor of State Government, University of Southern California
"The Routledge Handbook of Planning Megacities in the Global South is an excellent collection of case studies by established and emerging scholars of urban studies, planning, and development from around the world. In the context of the upcoming urban transition in the Global South, it addresses a major gap by making scholarship on less researched megacities accessible in one volume."
—Vinit Mukhija, Professor and Chair, Department of Urban Planning, UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs
"The book fills a gap in the literature by exploring planning challenges and responses in a range of mega-cities (twenty-seven) across three southern continents, authored primarily by scholars from these regions. It contributes to a growing scholarship from a southern perspective and will be a hugely valuable resource for planners and urbanists."
—Vanessa Watson, Professor, School of Architecture, Planning and Geomatics, University of Cape Town
