Reviews
From the reviews:
“The Book is made up of 14 chapters which systematically synthesize vast evidences in a logical and coherent manner to tell a compelling story of the impact of climate change on urban centres in Africa and Asia, whilst offering some pragmatic and thoroughly scrutinised thoughts for policy reforms in the two regions. … I unreservedly recommend this book to academics, students and development policymakers who have interest in the planning and management of the built environment.” (Eric Yeboah, African Review of Economics and Finance, Vol. 3 (1), June, 2012)
