Críticas

"The strengths of this text are its breadth of coverage of the main debates in the field, the authora s continuing and lively engagement with his subject and his genuine attempts to cross paradigms in discussion of what constitutes different understandings of urban orders. The comparative material... is a welcome change from the usual northern hemispheric focus of texts written in English." Urban Policy and Research "The first thing to say about this text is that it is clearly aimed at undergraduate students... Short and his publishers have put in a great deal of effort to ensure the booka s accessibility. At a time when the demands placed upon students are growing, the ease with which information can be traced is an increasingly important consideration. This textbook achieves this remarkably effectively." Paul Teedon, The Geographical Journal. "This is an excellent book and has relevance for all academic fields concerned with urban dynamics. As an introduction to, and overview of, urban events during this last century it is thorough and presented in a very readable and accessible form." Lone Poulsen, University of Witwatersrand
