Reviews

This book is scholarly, rich in ideas, and offers a toolkit for city and regional governments and communities to build visions and explore ways of achieving them. It will be part of the foundations of future city planning. Sir Alan Wilson, The Alan Turing Institute This is an inspirational intervention in thinking about cities of tomorrow. Ethically committed, practical and scholarly in avoiding the hubris of too many soothsayers of urban futures. Michael Keith, University of Oxford Too often planners, fearing to impose top-down solutions, fail to offer needed expertise. This important volume both envisions desirable futures and provides designs for reaching them without insisting on any one solution. Susan S. Fainstein, Harvard University
