The book "Urbanization and Spatial Development Policies" offers a comprehensive analysis of urbanization and spatial development policies, particularly in the context of developing and emerging countries. It highlights the challenges many cities in these regions face, such as traffic congestion, pollution, and uncontrolled urban growth. Through a combination of quantitative and qualitative analyses, the work compares the urbanization processes in a developed and a developing country in Asia. These insights are especially valuable for professionals involved in the planning and implementation of development policies, as well as for urban and regional planners, spatial economists, and anyone interested in the dynamics of urbanization and spatial development in today's world.
