Conflicts in Measuring Progress Many large Asian cities have used the Western 
model of growth as they expand. This model has deep ties to capitalist society, 
including the notion that progress is measured by advances in luxury, 
convenience and economic activity. Yet for Asian societies that do not have the 
same cultural and socio-political background as New York or London, there is a 
potential mismatch between the growth model of the cities and the people who 
inhabit them. Discuss a significant problem (of your choice: i.e., housing, 
poverty, pollution, population, transportation, health, etc.) that has erupted 
as a result of the mismatch in the growth model of (select one) Beijing, Hong 
Kong, Tokyo or Seoul, and the people who inhabit them. You will have to use 
other sources to complete this assignment, so make sure you credit them in your 
references. Note: 1. Optional readings - students may want to refer to chapters
