摘要

This issue marks five years of Environment and Urbanization Asia. From the first issue to the one you hold at this moment, the journal has traversed an evolutionary path in its quest for solutions to addressing the urbanization and environmental challenges of Asia. Each issue attempts to bring together a collection of research, both holistic and scientific in nature, that addresses common concerns regarding urbanisation and its effects on the ecological that can no longer be denied or neglected. The journal has engaged with themes ranging from sustainable urbanization and public policy, housing and sanitation, deforestation and problems of land acquisition in peri-urban areas. Each has a varying focus- some look at dynamic nations while others speak at length about specific towns and cities.
