"Elah Matt, Transport Reviews: ""Overall, the book provides a well-conceived theoretical and empirical account of the systemic planning process. This approach can inform strategic decision-making by accounting for both quantitative and qualitative considerations. Systemic planning can therefore prove to be valuable for scholars and practitioners in a variety of disciplines, including transport studies."" (Elah Matt, Transport Reviews, Vol 32 (6), Novmeber, 2012) Amazon.com review:   Amazon.com: 4.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful for public works project selection and evaluation  7 Dec 2013 By Eric Bruun - Published on Amazon.com   The title doesn’t really tell the prospective reader enough to decide whether this book requires a closer inspection. If you are concerned with designing, evaluating or selecting major public works projects that can have a wide impact across a community for many years to come, this book is for you. It addresses the need to have additional tools available besides the conventional monetary cost-benefit analysis. The author and his team at the Technical University of Denmark have incorporated risk, non-monetizable costs and benefits, and relative importance of project goals into their pathbreaking methods. This book provides both a theoretical discussion of what a more full decision making process should look like and explains some practical tools that they have already developed to help move in this direction. It also provides examples from some actual multicriteria analyses recently performed in Scandinavia. I highly recommend it.   Eric Bruun, Aalto University Dept of Civiland Environmental Engineering."
