Thomas Deckker
'The Modern City Revisted, is a collection of studies that indicate
that the position of documentation studies, archival work and
theoretical sources based upon twentieth-century buildings and
neighbourhoods is now well established ... For budding thesis
students, the book also may be seen as the source for a valuable
chase after research topics.' - Journal of Architectural
Conservation
'The diversity inherent in such a collection is positive especially
if the reader views the works as a spring board for further
research rather than a definitive review of each subject. Deckker
has successfully tied together a series of disparate and sometimes
opposing texts into one useful and enjoyable book to read.' - Urban
Design
'This edited volume represents an examination and re-evaluation of
a varied selection of concepts and constructions of
twentieth-century urbanism ... the book yields many nuggets of
knowledge and insight which expand comprehension of the modern
city. - Built Environment
