Beschreibung
Large urban agglomerations have emerged over the past
decades and, in some cases, entire rural regions were
urbanized in less than a decade. These trends not only
reflect an unprecedented quantitative dimension of
urbanization but also the emergence of new urban forms –
beyond urbanism – thus posing new challenges to regional
planners, politicians and urban governance actors.
