Reviews

'With many national and state governments adrift, cities have become the vanguard of problem solving in the United States and elsewhere. Brescia and Marshall highlight some of the best urban innovations as well as offering new tools and rules so that the cycle of city policy replication, adaptation and scaling can be accelerated. This is an important contribution to the new imperative of city power.' Bruce Katz, The Brookings Institution, USA, and co-author of The Metropolitan Revolution
