This issue presents a first step in placing Asian and Latin American cities into a framework to meet the challenges of urbanization in a sustainable way. The report draws from the experiences and lessons from Asia and Latin America through the framework of urban metabolism.
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 ADB and the IADB to anticipate and respond to the challenges faced by their members in managing the process of urbanization towards sustainability.
