Reviews for The Politics Of Urban And Regional Devel
“The product of many years of research, theoretical and political engagement. No one but this author could have written this book, drawing on a literature that stretches back through the last quarter of a century and reviewing the urban experience across thesame period and longer.”—Allan Cochrane, author of Understanding Urban Policy: A Critical Approach.
