Development in India is placing excessive stresses on the ability of urban landscapes to provide sociocultural and ecological benefits. The rate of development can be seen to support economic prosperity as its primary goal, which has limited the ability of government, and the environment sector, to invest time and/or funding in green infrastructure (GI). To evaluate whether this process can be mitigated, Ahmedabad and the New Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) are discussed to establish whether an ecological networks perspective to development offers valid solutions. It proposes that an ecological networks perspective, grounded in GI theory and practice, can provide alternative investment/management mechanisms to invest in more sustainable forms of urban development.

Many Southeast Asian developing cities are facing traffic and pollution issues. In order to produce a more sustainable city, local governments often opt for developing modern public transit systems. Because of a lack of finance, developing cities are supported by international donors while also looking for self-sufficient financing approaches like land value capture mechanisms. The Hong Kong “Rail plus Property” (R+P) model is seen as a reference. This chapter stresses the advantages of such a model, points out the particularities that make this model very unique and argues that adjustments that have recently been made are distorting the original model. Hence, the R+P model appears not as evident and straightforward as its advocates would like it to be.

The ten essays in Future Challenges of Cities in Asia engage with some of the most critical urban questions of the near future across Asia. These comprise socio-economic and cultural transitions as a result of urbanization; environmental challenges, especially questions of climate change, natural disasters, and environmental justice; and the challenges of urban infrastructure, built form, and new emerging types of urban settlements. The essays demonstrate that it is increasingly difficult to conceptualize the ‘urban’ as one particular type of settlement. Rather, it would be more accurate to say that the ‘urban’ characterizes a global transition in the way we are beginning to think about settlements. This book is of interest not only to researchers interested in comparative and inter-disciplinary research, but also to urban practitioners more broadly, illustrating through concrete cases the challenges that urban regions in Asia and beyond are facing, and the various opportunities that exist for dealing with these challenges.

Across China, the preservation and reconstruction of European-styled buildings for commercial purposes has become a trend for urban development. Drawing inspiration from established global cities, Shanghai’s local government has aimed to accommodate both modern high-rise and heritage buildings as a major part of its “city with global inspiration” urban development program. Historic preservation, however, has so far been about protecting particular structures from which only members of the urban middle class can benefit from their historic value. Then, for whom is this historic preservation? Presenting a less benign side of preservation, this chapter ethnographically examines social change in urban life as a result of urbanization, presenting how historic preservation affects urban processes vis-à-vis a sense of place in the city of Shanghai.
