Reviews
This book provides a much overdue contribution to our understanding of the developmental dynamics of some of Asia's most celebrated city states: Singapore and Hong Kong. By revisiting the developmental state thesis and analysing the policy challenges posed by the rise of the knowledge economy and the increasing impact of digitization, the author is able to demonstrate how the adoption of smart city strategies is increasingly supplanting traditional approaches to developmental policy, planning and economic management. A timely, thoughtful and innovative book that speaks to students of international political economy, development and policymakers alike. - Darryl S.L. Jarvis, Professor and Head of Department of Asian and Policy Studies, Education University of Hong Kong.
