International Institute for Asian Studies, IIAS has published a new review of our book Emerging Civic Urbanisms in Asia: Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore, and Taipei beyond Developmental Urbanization. This seems to be the second review of the book, after the review published by the Institute for Spatial Policies in Ljubljana not long ago.

The reviewer Yung Lin provides an overview of contributions for each city and argues that the book makes an important contribution in understanding democratisation of state-led development in East Asia, as well as of expanding role of civic urbanism in building sustainable cities. Moreover, the reviewer acknowledges importance of civic urbanism for education and civic engagement of university students. Thank you for positive review, Yung Lin.

Full review is available on the IIAS web site.
