Reviews

'Very well-presented book to be most fascinating and enjoyable to read ... the book is extensively illustrated.' - Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design

'A pioneering job has been done, not least by the editor, on a large but little researched topic ... You will also have met the first ambitious attempt to bring an overview of Nordic planning into the international planning literature.' - Town Planning Review

'... an excellent overview of this fascinating topic. The overviews of each country are all of a high standard. The book will be of value to anyone with an interest in urban development and settlement patterns.' - CSM

'This book provides an excellent overview of this fascinating topic, flavoured with portraits of planners, their works, philosophies and personalities.' - RICS
