Kuala Lumpur
«
“The book by Marek Kozlowski, Asma Mehan and Krzysztof Nawratek offers a well-structured insight in a multiethnic microcosm of the Southeast Asian metropole of Kuala Lumpur, one of the most important urban centers in this part of the world. Their theoretical approach towards problems they discuss is combined with presentation of KL’s history and complicated, multidimensional religious, social and political structure of the place, which is the heart of today’s Malaysia. The book provides a scholarly deep, nuanced, but at the same time fascinating analysis of the urban fabric of Kuala Lumpur – the city with ambitions, but also some weaknesses. It is strongly supported with information about facts concerning the present state and possible future of its broadly understood urban and social infrastructure.” - Dr. Jarosław Suchoples – Senior Research Fellow, Department of Art, Music and Culture Studies, University of Jyväskylä, Finland
"The highly diverse urban societies face the challenge of social fragmentation and exclusion. This book’s investigation of a major Asian metropolis provides fresh insights into the possible role of the socio-spatial infrastructure in linking the different social groups living in large urban centres." - Ali Madanipour is Professor of Urban Design at Newcastle University, UK
