A History of Future Cities Bewertungen

Persuasive and lushly detailed. -- Cara Parks - New York Times Book Review
Excellent...A History of Future Cities succeeds not by claiming a false comprehensiveness but by plunging into the chaos and productive confusions of the past. -- Casey Walker - Los Angeles Review of Books
An interesting thesis about the city's role in fomenting political change in the modern era. -- The New Yorker
The pleasure in Mr. Brook's unusual history is in his descriptions of the creation of these cities. The deeper message, though, is about the tensions such cities create. -- Philip Delves Broughton - Wall Street Journal
Whatever the futures of these four cities hold, Brook cautions that progress and growth need more than construction projects and infrastructure. -- The Daily Beast
Penetrating...[Brook] sketches a portrait of a place that is not just a city, but an idea, and a dream. -- Parag Khanna - CNN
[An] engaging, quite original take on urban planning...Wholly readable. -- Alan Moores - Seattle Times
