Sustainable urbanization in Asia and Latin America
Urbanization is a result as well as a driver of growth, but has often been accompanied by problems with pollution, congestion, slums, and damage to the environment and ecosystems. This comparative report is a collaborative effort of the Asian Development Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank to anticipate and respond to the challenges faced by their members in managing the process of urbanization towards sustainability. The report draws from the experiences and lessons from Asia and Latin America through the framework of urban metabolism.
