Review
'A major contribution to the literature of urban planning, bringing together as it does the challenges posed by cities across the world, rather than just one part of it. In doing so it will extend the understanding of many involved in urban development in the developed world and challenge them to see their concerns in the light of the much greater urban problems elsewhere.' - Foresight

'Brings together a number of interesting planning ideas and can serve as a stimulating vehicle for discussion among practitioners... Recommended for planning and social science collections, especially those focused on futuristics.' - Choice
