The question of worldwide slums and slum eradication is central to understanding city-building processes and urbanization in the future. --Martin Murray, professor of urban planning, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning The author grapples with urbanization, affordable housing, and the question of 'slums.' Huchzermeyer chronicles the implications that a global development discourse promoting 'cities without slums' has had for Africa's urban poor and for their neighborhoods. --Journal of Urban Affairs (February 2013) This is a stimulating, carefully-crafted and very worthwhile contribution that deserves to be widely read. --New Agenda (October 2012)
