Reviews for Urban Reflections
"Here's a new take on 'ciné' and 'cité' by a planning buff who appreciates the filmic potential of urban intentions and outcomes. He tracks the plot twists over the years in a drama that continues in real time - just watch it." Michael Hebbert, Professor of Town Planning, University of Manchester
