Rezensionen

'Very well-presented book to be most fascinating and enjoyable to read ... the book is extensively illustrated.' - Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design

'... an excellent overview of this fascinating topic. The overviews of each country are all of a high standard. The book will be of value to anyone with an interest in urban development and settlement patterns.' - CSM
