Reviews

"""Public Space and the Challenges of Urban Transformation in Europe is an excellent resource for teachers of Urban Studies, Urban Geography, or European regional urban courses. Students of European cities will learn that public spaces are ""crossroads"" that when critically analysed can reveal the complexity of European societies, the multiple forces shaping European cities, and the democratic potentials of public spaces."" – Joaquín Villanueva, Gustavus Adolphus College"
