Rezensionen

"Rafael Moneo celebrates the book as a valuable reminder of those studies in urbanism ... . Urban Visions is assembled and largely authored by the editors Carmen Díez Medina and Javier Monclús and their impressive team at the University of Zaragoza's School of Engineering and Architecture. ... Urban Visions presents us with a fascinating x-ray of the past one hundred years of city-building, and it will serve as an important reference for students and professionals across many cultures." (Stephen J. Ramos, Planning Perspectives, October 26, 2017)
