This collection reveals an incredible diversity in thought and practice in the urban planning field, across the rich range of sectors, planning issues, and geographies represented. Planning is always context dependent and this volume helps distill lessons across cases while appreciating differences. It highlights guidance for fast-growing cities in the global south that stems from their own experiences rather than discredited notions of universal best practice. It is imperative reading for everyone focusing on research and practice in the global south. - Aniruddha Dasgupta, Global Director, WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities, USA
