The Modern City: State, Space, and Citizenship in Urban Asia

Today, thirteen of the world's twenty tallest buildings are in Asia.  All but two were built in the last twelve years.

According to United Nations estimates, Asia's urban population will double between 2000 and 2030, adding 1.3 billion people. Asia's urban transformation has tremendous implications for the countries of the region and for the rest of the world.
