Rezension

'This carefully written and researched study offers detailed analysis of South African cities' uneven implementation of bus rapid transit systems. Scholars who participate in the lively global conversation on urban policy will find much to contemplate within this thoughtful book.'
Garth Myers, Paul E. Raether Distinguished Professor of Urban International Studies, Trinity College, Hartford
 
'Urban problems are becoming increasingly complex requiring the actors and institutions of governance to continually learn, adapt and innovate. But how does this learning happen? This book provides an extraordinary case study. It describes with uncommon clarity an intricate process of policy transfer involving global actors and circulations but also embedded local concerns, politics and governmental arrangements. It is essential reading for urban scholars and public policymakers.'
Philip Harrison, South African Research Chair in Spatial Analysis and City Planning, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
