Reviews

'Dissart and Seigneuret's book provides many valuable contributions that help elucidate its two main research questions: what makes a resource a resource? and what contributes to well-being? . These are complex theoretical questions that don't have simple answers, solutions and policy insights. It is most valuable for academics, students and practitioners wanting to gain further knowledge on a range of different topics related to territorial planning and quality of life in the Global North, such as shrinking cities, economic specification, urban accessibility, healthy cities and heritagization.' -- Martin Calisto Friant, Rooilijn 'Local Resources, Territorial Development and Well-being provides a timely and innovative contribution to the literature on regional development. The edited book explores the relationships between territorial actors and resources and local well-being. The chapters demonstrate the value of multidisciplinary approaches to territorial development in a wide variety of settings. The book will provide a valuable resource for academicians, policy makers and practitioners.' -- Gary Paul Green, University of Wisconsin-Madison, US
