Alleyways are an urban form historically shared by most cities in Asia, yet understudied.
Our book critically explores "Global Asia" and the metropolization process, specifically
from its alleyways, which are understood as ordinary neighbourhood landscape providing
the setting for everyday urban life and place-based identities being shaped by varied
everyday practices, collective experiences and forces. This turns the traditional
approach of "global cities" upside-down and contributes to a renewed conception of
metropolization as a highly situated process, where forces at play locally, in each
alleyway neighbourhood, are both intertwined and labile. Beyond the mainstream, standardising
vision of the metropolization process, the book offers a nuanced overview of urban
production in Asia at a time of great changes. As such, the book will be welcomed
by an array of scholars, students, and all those interested in the modern transformation
of Asian cities and their urban cultures, including new approaches to social life,
urban change and urban governance
