Dieter Schwela | ISBN: 1844073750 | PDF | 297 pages | 2006 | 2 MB

This volume is the most current and comprehensive assessment and comparison of the status and drivers of urban air pollution in twenty Asian cities and the Asian region, covering the effects on the environment, human health, agriculture and cultural heritage and the future implications for planning, transport and energy industries. National and local governments have begun to develop air quality management (AQM) strategies to address the deterioration in urban air quality, however the scope and effectiveness of such strategies varies widely. This book benchmarks these air quality management strategies, looks at successes and failures in these cities and presents strategies for improving air quality management in cities across Asia and the rest of our rapidly urbanizing world.

Cities covered: Bangkok, Beijing, Busan, Colombo, Dhaka, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kathmandu, Kolkata, Metro Manila, Mumbai, New Delhi, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Surabaya, Taipei and Tokyo...

The last bits of construction were finishing in a flurry of activity. The city and its generous people readied themselves to put their best foot forward as host to the world. Flower boxes lined airports and roadways, all overflowing with beauty. The excitement in the air was palpable, but so too was the smog that, at times, tortured the lungs and brought both real and symbolic tears to the eyes.
