Reviews

"'I have no doubt that this carefully researched study contributes to the literature of international planning and planning history. Anyone with a scholarly interest in the history of planning in Jakarta should read this book; it can also serve as an excellent source of information in graduate and undergraduate courses that focus on international planning, particularly in the Southeast Asia region. It can also be a very useful reference for planners conducting projects in Jakarta. In sum, I fully agree with Silver that ‘[planning in Jakarta] is a history worth understanding and worth telling’. - Deden Rukmana, Journal of the American Planning Association 'A helpful book. It offers a comprehensive account that invites reflection on how planning has worked for power and how it could become a device for challenging this power in one of the world's largest cities.' - Abidin Kusno, CAA Reviews ""Planning the Megacity is an outstanding book, comprehensive in its treatment of its topic, rich in detail and insight and well-written in an accessible and lively style. It is highly recommended.""— Stephen Hamnett, university of South Australia 'I have no doubt that this carefully researched study contributes to the literature of international planning and planning history.
