The book is designed to serve various audiences and readers. Many graduates from architecture fields think to proceed to a higher degree (master's degree). They refer mainly to university ranking like Top universities and others giving every university a yearly ranking based on overall and subject base ranking. These rankings evaluate master programs based on teacher’s research, citation, employment, but do not necessarily define how the program benefits the student in his development plan and career. Prof peter Herrle describes the dual master program of Tu berlin in detail making any graduate student comfortable in evaluating this master program. Researchers working on sustainable urbanism can benefit from this book if they are planning to use grounded theory in research for comparing two big cities that share the same development process and criteria. For architects in professional practice who want to get an overview of an Asian city’s architectural characteristics, development process, the role of culture, and planning regulations in the development this book is a good reference.
