Rising in the East: Contemporary New Towns in Asia

Rachel Elizabeth Keeton

Research output: Book/ReportBookAcademic

Abstract

In the west, the design of new towns has always been based on an ideal model in accordance with the ideas of that moment. In the case of the latest generation of new towns in Asia, however, only quantitative and marketing principles seem to play a role: the number of square metres, dwellings or people, or the greenest, most beautiful or most technologically advanced town. "Rising in the east" shows which design principles these premises are based on.
