While urbanisation has steadily increased in most Southeast Asian count ries since the 1970/80s, the question of how to live well in a city has oft en been neglected. This question has become more relevant then ever in the so-called Asian urban century. With the turn of the millennium more people have been living in cities than in urban areas. Urban growth is currently a nd expected to continue to be highest in the cities of Africa and Asia. Bec ause of the rapid and ‘compressed development’, urbanisation in Southeast A sia shows complex features. In emerging countries, characteristics and chal lenges of both ‘developed’ and ‘developing’ countries coexist all at the sa me time. For example, emerging cities continuously exhibit urban informalit ies in large scale despite of aspiration to be global cities. Rising inequa lity and social divide are pressing issues which question the quality of ur ban life, in general.\nAgainst this background, we want to focus on urban w ell-being from a multidimensional perspective. We understand urban well-bei ng not as prefixed concept but rather a condition that is continuously nego tiated by various actors, among them urbanites, civil society actors, gover nments and economic actors. On a macrolevel, the call for a new social cont ract among governments and the people can provide the legal and institution al framework for urban well-being. However, how the social contract of the 21st century plays out on the meso and micro level requires in-depths quant itative and qualitative research. We invite for papers from social, economi c and environmental perspectives, that examine the role of social networks, informal institutions, and labour conditions in urban well-being. Moreover , we are interested in a gender perspective on care as well as papers that critically factor in ageing, and how urban well-being is negotiated between generations. Urban green spaces fundamentally contribute to people’s well- being in the city. We therefore also invite environmental perspectives on u rban green spaces and urban commons.
