Reimagining the “Peri-Urban” in the Mega-Urban Regions of Southeast Asia

Year: 2016

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: Defining urban spatial expansion, this chapter examines the role of mega urban regions (MURs) in Southeast Asia. These MURs can be regarded as economic integration regions. Globalization is integrating the MURs into global economy. Globalism is embraced at the national level but functions at the local level. Hence, urbanisation is made up of the interaction between national scale, provincial scale, urban scale and individual scale of individuals and households. Urbanisation in the MURs is driven by a complex array of social, economic and political processes.
