Offering a coherent and comprehensive approach to the urban history, morphology, and architecture of Southeast Asian cities, Widodo (architecture, National U. of Singapore) looks at the interweaving process of the different groups and events from the formation of cities to their development in the recent past. After a review of urban morphology in the region, he traces changes through the maritime trade from the first to the 16th centuries, the entrepots in the 15th and 16th centuries, the great emporiums in the 16th and 17th centuries, and the colonial cities from the 16th to the 20th centuries.

penulisnya sendiri mengirimkan buku ini untuk saya ketika saya membeli beberapa kopi untuk perpustakaan.
ini buku bagus yang mengembangkan teori tipologi dan morfologi dalam merekonstruksi sejarah kota-kota pantai di asia tenggara. suatu pendekatan yang khas arsitektur/disain yang menggunakan benda-benda, artefak, sebagai obyek kajian.
berbeda dari antropologi atau sosiologi.
