Content:
Considering Asian cities ranging from Taipei, Hong Kong and Bangkok to Hanoi, Nanjing and Seoul, this collection discusses how neoliberalization entwines with local political economies and legacies of "developmental" or "socialist" statism to produce urban contestations centered on housing. The book takes housing as a key entry point, given its prime position in the making of social and economic policies as well as the political legitimacy of Asian states. It explores the continuing alterations and mutations of urban housing policies, as they come into conflict and coalesce with neoliberal policies. In discussing the experience of each city, it also takes into consideration the variegated relations between the state, the market and the society, and highlights how the global pressure of neoliberalization has manifested in each country and impacted on national housing questions in Asia
