Description

As more than half of the global population now lives in urban areas, the rise of megacities presents unprecedented challenges for the modern world. This academic text from Springer explores the complex relationship between urban form, sustainability, and governance processes. It examines how different ideas regarding city development shape the way urban environments are managed and how these management decisions impact real-world outcomes. Readers will gain a deep understanding of both sustainable and unsustainable urban trends through a global lens. The book provides a comprehensive look at how governance is influenced by developmental theories and how these processes can lead to transformative changes on the ground. This is an essential resource for those studying the evolution of giant cities and the systems required to manage them effectively in a rapidly urbanizing world.
