Gavin Shatkin is Associate Professor of Architecture at Northeastern University.
"This excellent comparative study of real-estate-based urban development in Asia is essential reading for all urbanists. This book should change how urban scholars and practitioners, residents and policymakers think about and engage in the politics of making urban futures."
Martin Murray, Taubman College, author of Taming the Disorderly City:
"Cities for Profit breaks new conceptual ground in the study of global urbanism at the start of the new millennium. The writing is clear, the analysis is pathbreaking, and the approach is innovative. Gavin Shatkin helps us understand how urban megaprojects come about, the patterns of their spatial dispersal, and their social impact on local urban communities."
Neil Brenner, Harvard University, and author of Critique of Urbanization:
"In this meticulously researched, methodologically elegant study, Gavin Shatkin offers an essential guide to state-led but profit-driven transformations of urban land, property, governance and space in Asian cities."
