<p>This book argues that close and disciplined scrutiny of the Asian megacity regions is of critical importance to understanding Asian urbanization. However, any approach to studying these regions must adopt a multi-dimensional and trans-urban perspective;&nbsp;otherwise, we Without such an approach, we cannot truly make meaningful decisions about growth management and sustainable development for such regions. </p>Amidst the sweeping demographic and structural shifts produced by&nbsp;global urbanization, Asian urbanization has a fascinating and prominent role.&nbsp; Asian urbanization is heterogeneous, and more accurately constitutes “phenomena” than a “phenomenon.” However, despite this diversity, there are certain&nbsp;common features that we can identify. One of them&nbsp;is the Asian “megacity region”— the administrative and/or delineated territory of mixed urban-rural landscape surrounding a giant metropolis.<p></p><p>The purpose of this book is to:</p><p> </p><ul> <li>Understand&nbsp;the main features of 21<sup>st</sup> century urbanization</li> <li>Note&nbsp;the limitations of current approaches (e.g. disparate scales, city-centric views, inadequate data sets)</li><li>Articulate a pragmatically framed three-pronged approach (scale-based, trans-urban, multi-dimensional)</li><li>Demonstrate the application of such an approach with a case study of one of the most important megacity regions in South Asia, the Delhi National Capital Region, underscoring the methodological requirements of such an approach</li> <li>Discuss the next steps for the field as a whole: questions to be raised and directions to be explored for further study.</li> </ul><div>This timely, conceptual and empirical book&nbsp;will appeal to students of urbanization, architects involved in&nbsp;urban policy and planning, and researchers alike.<br></div><p></p>
