Notes:
"'Future Megacities' is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) through the funding priority 'Research for the Sustainable Development of Megacities of Tomorrow'"--Title page verso.
"In its main phase (2008-2013), the funding priority currently covers nine international projects in Future Megacities of Asia (Tehran-Region, Hyderabad, Urumqi, Hefel, Hochi Minh City), Africa (Casablanca, Addis Ababa, Gauteng) and Latin America (Lima). Each project focuses on a particular city working on a locally-relevant thematic issue within the broader context of energy efficiency and climate change"--Page 6.
