Reviews

'Nelson, Dawkins and Sanchez extend the exploration of the effects of containment beyond urban form and housing prices, providing new insights into its consequences for a broad array of social and economic issues. As such, the authors break new ground to provide the most comprehensive assessment of the thinking on these issues to date.' Gerrit Knaap, Director of the National Center for Smart Growth, University of Maryland, USA 'This important new book examines the effects of urban containment policies on key social issues in the United States and argues that, while the policies make important contributions to environmental sustainability, they also impact on critical social aspects of contemporary urban living.' Australian Planner
