About this ebook

City Expansions explores the complex phenomenon of urban growth and pathways to sustainable urban development. It examines global urbanization trends, revealing how cities are expanding and the driving forces behind this expansion, such as population growth and economic development. The book uniquely emphasizes that city expansion isn't an uncontrollable force, but a process that can be guided towards sustainability through informed policy and community engagement.

The analysis progresses from a historical overview to the challenges of urban sprawl, including environmental degradation and social inequality. It highlights strategies such as transit-oriented development and green infrastructure, supported by diverse evidence, including statistical data and case studies.

A key insight is the interconnectedness of urban, social, and environmental systems, advocating for holistic approaches in city planning and urban design. The book, intended for a broad audience from students to policymakers, adopts an accessible tone to present complex information. Case studies from diverse urban contexts illustrate both successful and unsuccessful development projects.

City Expansions offers a comprehensive understanding of urbanization, equipping readers with knowledge to shape more livable and resilient urban environments.
