Reviews
- “It is high time for a new Canadian urban planning text. . . . This book is well thought out in terms of engaging undergraduate students.”
—Meg Holden, Simon Fraser University - “Like this text, I believe that Canadian planning has a lot to offer–not only to students in Canadian planning schools but to those interested in innovation practice around the world.”
—Jill Grant, Dalhousie University
