SUMMARY:Rethinking Southeast Asian Mega-Cities
LOCATION:Room 1.101
DESCRIPTION:With rapid economic growth, many mega cities in Asia have becom
 e global hubs of finance, production and consumption. They also serve as le
 ading centers of economic growth in the world and show interconnected dynam
 ics with strong economic and social networks among these cities. These citi
 es are experiencing ‘compressed development’ of economy and society resulti
 ng in multi-layered stratification. Under such circumstances, the mega-citi
 es of Southeast Asia face complex challenges and rapid change that municipa
 lities, national governments, civil society and urbanites have to deal with
 .\n\nThe 21st century has been termed the “Asian urban century” with half o
 f the urban world population living in Asia (UN-Habitat 2012: 28). Roy (201
 4: 14) comprehends the Asian urban century as the “historical conjuncture”,
  at which the urban becomes a matter of government. Urbanism then is “produ
 ced through the practice of statecraft and the apparatus of planning” (Roy 
 2014: 14).\n\nAgainst this backdrop we would like to rethink Southeast Asia
 n mega-cities from a geographical comparative and interdisciplinary perspec
 tive. The urbanization of Southeast Asia was led by dynamics of interconnec
 ted cross-border investment and economic activities, sociopolitical and cul
 tural changes. We look for idiosyncrasies and commonalities across cities. 
 We invite papers comprising empirical case studies and theoretical reflecti
 ons on Southeast Asian mega-cities from the social sciences, such as econom
 ics, political science, sociology, and area studies.
