Reviews for Worlding Cities: Asian Experiments and the Art of Being Global

“I am hopeful that this collection, along with others of its kind, will inspire new lines of research and theorisation that will help arrest the actual realities of cities in an era of planetary urbanisation.” (Urban Studies, 1 February 2015)
