Reviews
"This important new collection should be read by planners, place makers, gerontologists and urban sociologists, everyone, in short, who is concerned with urban areas and how they might respond to demographic change. (It is) a fresh politicised approach to the AFC discussion... this book offers inspiration to those looking to understand and implement change in the complexity of the city." International Journal of Housing Policy
