“A rich and varied collection of important articles on
cities. Selections range from older classic pieces to more recent
insights, and the book provides a nice mix of European and American
views of cities, whilst including writings about other areas of the
world, especially China. Altogether this is an excellent and
exciting collection of major writings.”
—Anthony M. Orum, University of Illinois
“The second edition of The Blackwell City Reader is
even better than the first – and that was a milestone. The
Reader covers the full spectrum of approaches to the city
concisely but with real authority. As a result, it is a vital
introduction to thinking about cities in a time when global
problems and urban problems have become effectively
interchangeable.”
—Nigel Thrift, University of Warwick
