Reviews

“Geographies of Urban Governance is intended as ‘a state-of-the-art review of the theories, methods, instruments and practices of contemporary urban governance’ … . Because of the broad-strokes overview that characterizes Geographies of Urban Governance, the book is useful … for exposure to the literature on various aspects of urban governance.” (E&U Environment and Urbanization, March, 2016)
