Scientific literature shows numerous publications on urbanization, including books, magazines, journals and other types of articles. Knowledge on the urbanization field is changing and developing over time through worldwide collaboration projects and conferences, which lead to interesting prospects and directions for future study. Importantly, investigation indicates trends in scientific outputs and operates as an option approach for indicating worldwide study patterns in urbanization. The significant output of scientific publications on urbanization in the Asian regions proves that urbanization research needs a trans-disciplinary method. Consequently, the scope of this book is to focus on urbanization, comprising economic changes; social changes; cultural changes; and the function of urbanization, namely reducing poverty, trade, advantages and opportunity, the rise of consumption, as well as high population levels. Urbanization is related to the urban concept, and recognition of urban features should be performed with the city culture as the main point, city history as the expansion, and city characteristics as the foundation to indicate the incorporation of city features by urban planning, architectural design, landscape design and building. Evidently, there are several meanings of urbanization, for example, the traditional meaning and contemporary meaning.
