Nowhere is the urban challenge more starkly evident than in Asia. Many cities lack data and information on urban conditions and trends, which has undermined their ability to understand and manage the complex forces of urban growth and change.

The Cities Data Book explores the theory, development and application of urban indicator systems for improved urban management and performance measurement. The findings from a pilot exercise undertaken in 18 cities in the Asian and Pacific region, and a toolkit for replicating a policy-based urban indicator system, are provided as resources for urban managers and decision-makers.

Available in CD-ROM and hard copy.
