Abstract
ABSTRACTUrbanisation in late 20th Century Pacific Asia is producing diverse kinds of urban development. Representations of the process of metropolitan growth have taken four important forms: the extended metropolitan region; regional economic zones; world cities; and the idea of the megaurban corridor. These representations reflect postcolonial concerns with non‐Eurocentric interpretations of indigenous forms of urban development, though they are limited by a dependence on Western concepts of globalisation and restricted recognition of indigenous portrayals of urban life. A case study of Ho Chi Minh City explores constructions of the city contained in planning and scholarly interpretations, juxtaposed with a cinematic representation.
