This essay argues that UN projected population growth will not only lead to more Muslims in Asia's cities in a purely numerical sense, but also to more Muslim cities in a proportional and cultural sense through the continuation of existing trajectories of 'de-cosmopolitanization'. Urban life will be deeply affected by this increasing shift from cities that are not merely majority Muslim, but are also increasingly Muslim in moral, social or political terms. Inevitably such changes will affect the lives of urban citizens, none more so than women. The essay then asks whether population growth will allow these cities to maintain their 'globalizing' trajectory of increasing interconnection. Having framed its analysis around the 'hard' outcomes of demographic change, the analysis then turns to 'soft' outcomes by tackling the question of the likely contours of the increasingly divergent versions of Islam produced by the competitive religious economies of the modern Asian city
