Reviews

"The book deserves reading by a select audience interested in planning history and theory."
*Public Historian*

"More than anything else this book represents a clear call to all those involved in the writing (and teaching) of planning history of the need to remember that processes of exclusion are rarely documented in mainstream planning history. . . . The work deserves a wide audience, notwithstanding its largely American provenance."
