'Densification is increasingly positioned as vital to cities and the global urban future. This collection of cases, from across the urban world, offers an invaluable critique of the politics and geographies of densification, and provides a set of progressive routes forward.' -- Colin McFarlane, Durham University, UK 'Urban densification has long been one of those enduring wicked problems which has long perplexed urban planners and policy experts. By offering a balanced analysis that unpacks the costs and benefits of compact cities, the contributors critically engage with the reigning conventional wisdom that densification is a central ingredient for urban sustainability and smart growth.' -- Martin J. Murray, University of Michigan, US
