Planning for regional sustainability in uncertain times: urbanisation through the waves of global crises

Planning for sustainability in uncertain times, especially due to global crises, often proceeds tentative, requiring the placing aside of grander comprehensive plans for a more achievable short term gains. While boom periods characterised by the influx of large capital seems to be constantly increas...
