| Summary, etc | This city profile focuses on the patterns of growth, challenges and urban renewal in Khon Kaen<br/>Metropolitan Municipality located in Thailand’s north-eastern region. It is presented in the global, AsiaPacific regional and Southeast Asian context, where the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable urbanization are in a flux. After the Second World War, Khon Kaen emerged as a<br/>regional urban centre due to the Thai government’s anticommunist campaign and it being military base<br/>to US camps in the US-Vietnam War. As the city rapidly urbanized, it faced diverse challenges, ranging<br/>from an influx of rural migrants to environmental degradation. Today, Khon Kaen’s urban challenges<br/>are different. As the economy shifts from manufacturing to services, metropolitan government leaders<br/>and their constituents seek to transform Khon Kaen into a smart city with a transit-oriented development strategy. Climate change has also affected the city, causing devastating floods and prolonged<br/>droughts. Residents in squatter settlements are highly vulnerable to these climate-induced disasters<br/>and are under constant threat of eviction. Informed by the development trajectory outlined above, this<br/>city profile starts by laying out the global, Asia-Pacific regional and Southeast Asian context, and then<br/>discusses Khon Kaen’s rise to prominence as a regional economic and logistic hub in Thailand’s northeastern region. The city’s current conditions, such as its geographical, historical, economic, social,<br/>environmental and administrative and governance contexts, are considered. Then, contemporary challenges of sustainable urban development are explained. This city profile culminates in a discussion of<br/>future development strategies for Khon Kaen as a bellwether secondary city in Thailand..<br/> |
