Description

This Routledge text examines how rapid urbanisation has reshaped development priorities, revealing the gap between urban affluence and equitable distribution. Shifting from state-led planning to market-driven and public-private initiatives, cities risk marginalising the urban poor from critical decision-making processes. The book outlines essential conditions for effective urban planning and management by centring bottom-up community initiatives, arguing that sustainable cities require meaningful participation from those most affected by development decisions. Explore how civil society and local communities can drive inclusive urban growth and challenge top-down approaches that exclude vulnerable populations from shaping their neighbourhoods and futures.

Key Features

Routledge's analysis reveals how urban development responsibility has shifted from state governance to market-driven and public-private sector models.

The text places bottom-up community initiatives at the centre of effective urban planning and management strategies.

Examines how rapid urbanisation creates inequitable distribution of prosperity and development benefits across cities.

Addresses the marginalisation of the urban poor from decision-making in contemporary development and implementation processes.

Explores essential conditions for sustainable cities that balance economic growth with community welfare and social equity.
