Content:
Urban Megaprojects - here referred to as 'Grand Projects' - are increasing in number all over the world. They have become major drivers for urban intensification and oftentimes set out to take a city expansion to the next level. As such, 'Grand Projects' can be read as manifestations of the larger economic and political agenda of their city and they offer a productive moment to investigate current urban trends in a globally connected form of concentrated urbanization. The book looks into the adaptive and inclusive capacities that urban megaprojects can offer. It provides a new and for the first time comprehensive reading of selected urban megaprojects in Asia and Europe, and a comparative view of key moments regarding their role in contemporary urban development
