Urbanization Issues in the Asian‐Pacific Region

Author

Abstract

Various aspects of urbanization – including the rapid growth of urban, especially metropolitan populations, increasing levels of urban primacy, rural‐urban migration and the infrastructure needs generated by these trends – have exercised the minds of Asian‐Pacific planners for decades. The policy responses have varied, but, apart from a lack of unanimity on appropriate policy goals, there has been a general failure to recognize that broad macro‐economic or sectoral policies may have greater spatial impact than measures, often rather feeble, adopted for their direct spatial effects. The paper reviews urbanization trends in the Asian‐Pacific region, and discusses the causes of urbanization. It then briefly reviews the public policy responses recommended in the literature or actually practised in the region. A series of issues in urban policy and planning are then discussed.
