About the Book

This book applies a sustainable development framework to the planning and managing of an intermediate size city in a developing region of a developing nation, and assesses the potential of such a framework to effectively guide the city's development. It identifies issues and recommends approaches to assist local governments to enhance their capacity, improve their management efficiency, and facilitate a course toward sustainable development. The focus is on the many intermediate size cities emerging in Asia and elsewhere as the nucleus of new urbanization and more efficient urbanization management, instead of on the few primate mega-cities. The entire book studies one city and region from multiple perspectives, allowing multiple comparisons. This reflects the unique composition of the book's contributors, representing fifteen disciplines, four universities, and three countries.
