Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-28 00:00:00 Michael Langarica Somewhat tedious but the last chapter on urban process is worth reading. It captures the reasons and ways cities change and are rebuilt, beginning with devastation resulting from natural disasters and war to self inflicted urban renewal, population changes and growth, industrial forces, and different urban design ideologies and aesthetic strategies.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-02-14 00:00:00 Nathalie King Probably because my reading was so interrupted, but I didn't get as much out of this book as the first one. The themes seemed a little random. But still quite a worthwhile and informative read.
