Urban regeneration research studies not only on the design aspects of urban planning but also takes into account the demography, sociological aspects, cultural shifts, economic development over time, and also the physical deterioration of urban areas. There are many factors that can contribute to a 'un-sustainable' city: high unemployment rates, income in-equality, cultural shifts and changes due to immigration and migration, along with physical deterioration as a result of a natural disaster or corruption and ill-advised foresight.Forging a Sustainable Future for Asian Cities collects and analyses as many instances of these negative factors and their positive solutions from the vast number of cities at various stages of urban life. This volume contains case studies resulting from meticulous field work and analysis on the trends and concepts in urban regeneration and planning.Although aimed at researchers and practicioners in the field of urban planning, advanced undergraduate and postgraduates in Urban Planning and Design would also benefit from the data and insight contained in the volume.
