Roger Zetter and Georgia Butina Watson have produced a fascinating book that explores the concept of urban sustainability within the context of urban design in the developing world. Using a wealth of examples from Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India and Myanmar, they demonstrate how rapid physical and social change has swept away historic urban quarters and the cultural heritage they represent.
