Editorial Reviews

"The Public Metropolis is essential reading for all urban and regional planners. They will see their work contextualized here in a way that is unprecedented in planning literature.... [T]he intelligent scholarship throughout this book offers strategically useful and timely perspectives for large cities and their regions attempting to make their way onto international, national, and sub-national agendas."— “Beth Moore Milroy, PhD, FCIP Professor Emerita, School of Urban and Regional Planning, Ryerson University, Toronto
