Cities in a Hurry

Synopsis: Looks at the Asian cities of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and Singapore. Both are striving to be at the regional intersection of global economic matters, but while it is easy to see the futures of these cities as following western models of development, other factors make this a more complex issue. Examines how Kuala Lumpur’s global Islamic connections and the networks of Singapore’s overseas Chinese overlap and add complexities to any attempt to see the city as developing in a straightforward western capitalist mould.

At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
