Editorial Reviews

Review

'The work represents quality and one cannot find fault with the thorough editing task that has occurred on several layers to bring together so many nationalities and differing standards and approaches to writing.'  - Environment and Planning B

'The volume will no doubt be regarded as a "must" for the shelf of every serious planning library.' - Journal of Environmental Planning and Environment, January 2006

'The overwhelming result is a book that is international in scope and one that fills a significant void in the planning literature by providing, in a single source, scholarly work that would be otherwise unattainable on so widespread a basis.' - Regional Studies

"The twelve chapters are of an exceptional quality." -- Canadian Journal of Urban Research

--This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
