Reviews

From the reviews: The Book is made up of 14 chapters which systematically synthesize vast evidences in a logical and coherent manner to tell a compelling story of the impact of climate change on urban centres in Africa and Asia, whilst offering some pragmatic and thoroughly scrutinised thoughts for policy reforms in the two regions. I unreservedly recommend this book to academics, students and development policymakers who have interest in the planning and management of the built environment.
