It's truly a magnificent book and, I believe, extremely important from the Madrid perspective where there is a dearth of analysis and critical perspective.' Javier Ruiz, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Spain 'Michael Neuman has tackled and unravelled the fundamental elements that underpin successful urban governance and public administration. He has delivered a conceptual framework to guide anyone interested in designing, delivering and managing urban environments. With the pressing need to transform cities to be environmentally sustainable, I can think of no better guide for planners, urban designers, landscape architects, architects, urban managers and politicians at every level of government than this book.' Alec Tzannes, UNSW Sydney, Australia '... The Imaginative Institution is a well-written book that both urban scholars and planners, along with scholars in numerous other disciplines, will welcome. ... Neuman succeeds in the integration of multidisciplinary perspectives to inform his work on the historic and contempormy development of regional planning in Madrid.'
