Editorial Reviews
Review
‘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
