Text by Massimo Morello
According to many observers, the twenty-first century will witness a shift in the center of global power from West to East. The Asian megacities presented in this book stand at the core of this transformation—urban environments where economic growth, demographic expansion, and cultural acceleration converge, often reflected in double-digit indicators and unprecedented scale.
This book is not a guide to these cities. Instead, it is a work of journalistic nonfiction: a personal and observational account shaped by the combined perspectives of writer and photographer. Through images and narrative, the project explores the symbols, structures, and contradictions that define this emerging urban world.
Rather than cataloguing places or landmarks, Asia’s Megacities seeks to interpret the forces at play within these vast metropolitan landscapes. The result is a subjective yet informed portrait of cities that are not only shaping Asia’s future, but increasingly influencing the global balance of power.
