Publisher Synopsis
"Bringing together leading scholars to discuss some of the most pressing concerns about the future condition of our cities, this exciting volume offers a necessary rethink about the challenges confronting sustainable urban development following 'the crisis', and deserves a wide readership among students, academics and policy makers."
