Why is it important?
It presents a number of contrasting case studies in Portugal (the Iberian Peninsula), the United States (North America), and Macau Special Administrative Region (SAR) (Southeast Asia) in terms of size, density, morphology, lifestyles and territorial governance practices, which are key to understanding the main arguments put forward.
