5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Every Civic Leader, December 21, 2008

By	Erin L. Albert "yuspie" (Indiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Creative City: A Toolkit for Urban Innovators (Paperback)

This book is a definite must read for every mayor, town council member, governor, and president of any city, state or country in the world. With all the disasters going on in the world, this book is a true gem in that it focuses on solutions for problems (with real case studies cited) and shows not only good ideas, but real, tangible ideas too. The toolkit for urban innovators is an excellent subtitle for this book. I am only a fraction of the way in, but I can barely put it down!

As a book concentrated on city design, it is really a good, helpful and also inspiring one. Has really good examples explaining the idea. Everything (the topics and the examples) is widespread. Really a helpful and creative book.
It is a long book with no images but the ideas keeps the reader avake and alert. When read i was alsways thinking what can i do about my city.
