Reviews

'Articles are interesting and well conceived' - Architectural Review 'Articles are interesting and well conceived.' - Architectural Review '... among the best anthologies within the area of urban studies. The editors have suceeded in producing a truly multidisciplinary book, which highlights different aspects of urbanization, urbanism and urbanity in the modern city.' - Katarina Nylund, Planning Theory and Practice


If one or another contribution stands out, it is to the credit of the editors that unlike so many compendia, articles are generally interesting and well conceived. <br>-Edward Robbins, Architectural Review <br>
