Urbanization and the form that it takes is once again at the center of debates and agendas, and Eric Mumford's long-needed survey will provide students and practitioners with an informed historical base for approaching contemporary urban conditions. --Alan Plattus, Yale University Mumford's book is a refreshing and much-needed alternative to previous surveys of modern urbanism that have foregrounded architecture at the expense of planning, and Europe and the United States at the expense of everywhere else. --Gabrielle Esperdy, New Jersey Institute of Technology Readers will need to fasten their seatbelts as they follow Mumford's concise history of more than 150 years of urbanism. This is a magisterial work that will serve as an ideal text for a course on the topic. --Mosette Broderick, New York University Eric Mumford deserves credit for the scale and ambition of this major new survey of modern urban thought and practice. No other book compares. --Simon Gunn, University of Leicester
