Reviews
"This collection, examining one particular city from a variety of conceptual and empirical viewpoints - offers an interesting and novel synthesis ... The authors have substantial experience of the city and are eminently qualified to contribute to such a text." Dave Valler, Associate Chair, Dept. of Community and Regional Planning Iowa State University
