"The book adopts a multi-disciplinary perspective, drawing together ideas from the geography, urban planning and tourism literatures, as well as from the emerging events and regeneration fields. It illustrates arguments with a range of international case studies placed within and at the end of chapters to show positive outcomes that have been achieved and examples of high profile failures." – Lonaard, Issue 14, Volume 3, March 2013
"Events and Urban Regeneration is suitable for scholars, practitioners, and policy makers interested in the impact of event planning on urban policy, and in the ways that events illustrate wider urban governance challenges." – Urban Affairs Review
"...the book is well-written, easy to comprehend, and organized in a way that students can gain awareness and insight from the book’s conceptual foundations. Some students (and theirprofessors) should be able to put this theory into practice because of the detailed and insightful case studies that are included." – Nicholas Wise, Glasgow Caledonian University, published in the Journal of Urban Affairs
