Rezensionen

"We commend this work as offering present day planning practitioners insights to the legacies and traditions of this form of urbanism but also an opportunity to raise questions about that legacy and the scope for its continuity. The potential of lessons from historical urban forms should not be lost and this text demonstrates extensive historical research and a thread of argument and narrative that should be a strong interest to those planning Australia's current cities."
