Biography
Scott A. Bollens
'Urban policies and, specifically, urban planning are not often taught from this perspective, but Bollens is right to argue that they need to be. Pedagogically, doing so is extremely important.' - Robert Beauregard, Columbia University, USA
'[This work] provides researchers and practitioners access to informative and stimulating accounts of comparative practice and its relation to key issues of 21st century urban affairs.' - Michael Safier, University College London, UKOverall, this book is an important read for all urbanists, but in particular for those working in cities characterised by varying degrees of nationalist and ethnic conflict. It sensitises the reader to the positive contributions that urbanists can make to peace building across society. Frederick W. Boal, Urban Studies Journal
