Reviews

Two senior scholars have written an illuminating work on the origins, concepts, scope, practice, and potential of regional planning in Canada. Its coverage is truly national, and its spirit, appropriately, is universal, critical, and exploratory. - Len Gertier, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, School of Planning, University of Waterloo
