Recensioner i media

"An exhaustive research document on the history of city planning in the United States... A cartographic gem."--The New York Times "An extraordinarily handsome volume."--The Los Angeles Times "This excellent book may well be described as the missing link in American town planning history. No book [to date] has comprehensively dealt with American urban development from the earliest colonial settlements to modern times. Reps has filled this gap with his lavishly illustrated work."--Journal of the Town Planning Institute
