Reviews
Re-Making Cities is a theoretically rich and compelling read which takes the reader on a thought-provoking journey through discussion on the future of cities. The intended intellectual contribution of the book is made very clear and the structure allows for a clear narrative whilst retaining a comprehensive critical edge. * Environmental Values *
By scaling up the logic of "re-directive" practice which he first outlined in Design Futuring, Fry offers us here one of the most compelling theses for how to turn our cities into real agents of sustainable change. * Duncan Fairfax, Lecturer in Design at Goldsmiths, University of London, UK *
Tony Fry showcases the reality of the dramatic and unquestionable changes which will befall our cities, our nations, our planet, unless we adapt sufficiently to fast-changing circumstances. * Danilo Palazzo, Director of the University of Cincinnati School of Planning, USA *
