<br/><br/>Introduction -- Conceptual Framework for Revitalization of Historic Inner-City Areas -- Urban Revitalization Scenarios: Ha Noi, Jakarta , and Manila -- Prospects for Partnerships in Urban Revitalization 
<br/><br/> The urban development strategy of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) draws attention to neglected historic city centers and lost development opportunities. Investments are needed to revitalize deteriorated historic centers in, for instance, Ha Noi, Jakarta, Malacca, Manila, Penang, Saigon, Semarang, and numerous cities in the Peoples Republic of China, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. Support is needed to reduce poverty, improve infrastructure, and develop the local economy, which are goals of ADBs country partnership strategies. Developing member countries need to revive their cities and historic centers to meet the challenges of globalization and to become environmentally viable. This book demonstrates that inner-city areas and urban heritage assets represent bankable, profitable opportunities for public-private partnership projects.
