Résumé:

This book shows that cities in the postcolonial world are producing novel forms of urbanism not reducible to Western models. An international cast of contributors focuses on the heavily urbanized world region of Southeast Asia to investigate the forms of urbanism germinating in postcolonial settings such as Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Hanoi and the Philippines offering a mix of theoretical perspectives and empirical accounts.
