Edited by A.F. Foo and Belinda Yuen

This book is about the growth and future development of cities. The collection of nine essays brings together different views and visions of how we might build sustaining cities into the 21st century, with one staying concern: a better tomorrow. The essays do not profess to provide answers but rather, alternative starting points for further explorations and reflections on the meaning of sustainable development for our cities.
