"'The design and development of sustainable cities : international and Thai perspectives on urban design in the 21st century' is a collection of 18 chapters by academics, experts and practitioners on the current state and future prospects of urban sustainability. Though the focus is primarily on the Asian context, including Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, China and South Korea, it also extends to countries such as Dubai, the UK and the United States. Cities are complex and dynamic, and urban design solutions must be the same. This publication aims to capture a holistic picture of the 21st century city by exploring a breadth of fields - including tourism management, heritage conservation, real estate, retail development, transportation, public health, spatial inequalities, suburban sprawl, climate change, renewable energy, and urban governance. With cities now more important than ever before, this book is essential reading not only for students and practitioners of design but also climatologists, tourism planners, policy makers, health specialists, property developers, government officials and other professionals with an interest in urban sustainability."--Book cover.
