Rising in the East

Keeton, R: 2011 INTI/Sun Amsterdam, softcover, 432 pages, illustrated. In Asia, urban development models are applied that are already outdated in the Western world. But new models are also being developed at a rapid pace. 'Rising in the East' shows which design principles underlie the latest generation of new towns.The enormous urbanization in Asia makes problems visible that no one has yet tackled worldwide, such as food supply and water management in metropolises. New infrastructures are needed, otherwise these cities will become unliveable. Asia is now taking the lead in developing design solutions. Target audiences. 'Rising in the East' is intended for urban planners, planners, architects and project developers involved in the design and construction of new towns, particularly in Asia, and for academics specializing in new towns.
