'Splintering Urbanismis a timely and significant addition to the field of Urban Studies. It is set to change urban theory radically, ushering in a new paradigm: a critical urbanism centred on examining infrastructure and flow. As such Splintering Urbanism should be required reading for scholars and students of globalisation, urban processes and city life.' - Rob Kitchen, Department of Geography and NIRSA for Environment and Planning'Both interesting and important. It addresses the notion of the network city in a profound way ... a promising and fruitful approach.' - Journal of Housing and the Built Environment'Splintering Urbanismis a significant work and achievement, bringing together a tremendous amount of research on networks and urban technologies and putting them in one 'manual' or 'guide', whilst at the same time providing an authoritative view of implications and limitations of the 'splintering' process ... it should earn a position as an essential item in any up-to-date reading list.' - Urban Studies
