This book, the first in a planned series, reports on the 'Future Cities Laboratory' and its ambitious mission to shape sustainable future cities through science, by design, in place. It offers a global perspective on cities from the vantage point of Asia, where the laboratory is based. This view has particular significance today as the fortunes of Asia, the world's most populous and rapidly urbanizing continent, will also delineate the prospects of the planet.
