`Culture and the City in East Asia ... contributes to the
postmodern chorus of challenge to the assumptions and tendencies
which have mapped out orthodox urbanisation research.'

`A real strength of the volume lies in the prominence of local
writers who are quite skilful in unravelling and explaining local
contextual complexities ... Culture and the City in East Asia ...
succeeds in drawing attention to a potentially stimulating and
worthwhile field for future research and, as such, provides an
excellent reference source and starting point for regional
specialists and scholars of urbanisation.'

Well conceived and tightly structured. There are many strengths in
this welcome addition to the literature on Asian
urbanization...this is a handsome and thoughtful book that probes
the relationship between urban growth and cultural-social
processes. - Yue-Man Yeung. The Journal of Asian Studies.
The coverage of these essays is extensive....the editors have
brought together a number of stimulating essays which illustrate
both the power and the weakness of cultural explanations. The
result is a valuable addition to the literature on a theme which is
currently of much interest. - Rupert Hodder. Journal of Energy
Literature. 1998.
