It reveals that Japan is famous for its economic growth but not for its city planning. Japan's distinctiveness makes it an important case study of urbanization and its management, and highlights the major urban and regional planning issues faced by other developed countries, particularly in the Asian context. This book includes up-to-date, original material not otherwise available in English. ER -
