Synopsis
As the home to the most populated cities on the planet, Asia is an emerging world unto itself. AECOM'sAsia Beyond Growthis a vivid visual and analytical exploration of the context that will have the most significant impact on the world's built, natural, and social environments. That context? An arc that spans from Shanghai to Dubai and which defines the area that is experiencing history's most dramatic physical transformation. With sections devoted to such topics as "Vertical Growth" and "Infravestment,"Asia Beyond Growthis more than a mere chronicle of urban development. This volume is, rather, a complete text on how to adapt environments to the pace of population growth., As home to the most populated cities on the planet, Asia is an emerging world unto itself.

With sections devoted to such topics as "Vertical Growth" and "Infravestment," Asia Beyond Growth is more than a mere chronicle of urban development. This volume is, rather, a complete text on how to adapt environments to the pace of population growth. Edited by the global design and planning firm, AECOM (formerly EDAW), Asia Beyond Growth is an initiative of AECOM's Design + Planning practice in Asia. Dedicated to responsible and productive use of the land, AECOM creates and restores urban and natural environments. Whether detailed designs, physical plans, or broad policy frameworks, we offer implementable solutions that promote sustainable use of resources and enhance quality of life. AECOM's presence in Asia began in 1997 and now includes more than 400 landscape architects, urban designers and planners, environmental planners, ecologists and strategic planners. AECOM works on a variety of projects, both large and small, from designing parks and waterfronts for city governments, to restoring natural habitats. Within the wider context of AECOM, the Design + Planning practice in Asia is the design arm of a 4,000 strong team in Asia that is helping the world's fastest growing continent to develop in a sustainable, sensible way. The book is a vivid, visual atlas that explores the continent's urban transformation through imagery, data and profiles of exemplary design and planning work that shines within this context., As home to the most populated cities on the planet, Asia is an emerging world unto itself.

With sections devoted to such topics as "Vertical Growth" and "Infravestment," Asia Beyond Growth is more than a mere chronicle of urban development. This volume is, rather, a complete text on how to adapt environments to the pace of population growth. AUTHOR: Edited by the global design and planning firm, AECOM (formerly EDAW), Asia Beyond Growth is an incisive and educational documentation of this emerging environment's urban moment. ILLUSTRATIONS: 400 colour & 200 b/w photographs & 50 illustrations, Beyond Growth tells a regional story that the whole world should hear. The needs of the emerging world (in particular the Asian continent) are leaving a carbon footprint--that is rapidly expanding to match the pace of the U.S. and Europe--which manifests in a dramatically transformed built and natural environment posing unprecedented challenges. The emerging world is a testing ground for radical urban design proposals, several of which are reviewed in this timely publication, divided into two sections, Growth and Beyond. The former provides visually dynamic statistics on population, consumption and environmental impact, the latter details specific cities and projects; included are over 700 color images. Largely written and edited by EDAW, a leading environmental design group, the volume includes a text by Rodolphe el-Khoury, Canada Research Chair in Architecture and Urban Design., Beyond Growth tells a regional story that the whole world should hear.

- u***u (723)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseCarefully packaged book- arrived wrapped in plastic bag and shipped in cardboard box. As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.
- 9***n (325)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent experience with this eBay used book seller! The books arrived in perfect condition, as described, and their pristine condition exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was the speed of shipping: the book arrived much earlier than expected. Furthermore, the packaging was careful and professional, ensuring the book arrived undamaged. Thanks a lot! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
- c***i (102)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook was in very good condition as described in the listing. It looked almost new, in fact, but the pages did have some yellowing around the edges, a sign of its age. The seller did an excellent job of wrapping and packing the book for shipment, which I greatly appreciate! He has earned his 100% feedback rating, I'd say. I'm extremely pleased with the seller and this transaction. Thank you!
