Reviews

...I found myself agreeing with many of the author's arguments about why our urban environments are in a mess. The book is also packed with detailed information about environmental issues in urban Australia. Open it at random and one will almost invariably strike a section containing useful information and/or sound ideas. -- Clive Forster, School of Geography, Population and Environmental Management, Finders University, in Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 47, No. 5, 2007.
