How can they manage continuing pressures for development and growth while reducing their vulnerability to a range of potential crises? And, given the tradition of top-down, centralized, state-directed planning which drove the economic growth of many of these cities in the last century, what prospects are there of them becoming more inclusive and sensitive to the diverse needs of their populations and to the importance of culture, heritage and local places in creating liveable cities? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Hamnett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415832209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415832205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.80w x 0.80d","brand":"Stephen Hamnett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443482013951,"sku":"9780415832205","price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82198327-6df1-49fb-8550-40fcfb412834.jpg?v=1777205821","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/planning-asian-cities-stephen-hamnett-9780415832205","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
