"This simply is crucial reading for we regeneration types, and moreover, for anyone looking to solve the housing crisis…This is a timely and brilliant intervention, by a man who knows his subject better than anyone in this field. Politicians need to sit up and take note" – Jackie Sadek, Regeneration & Property, EstatesGazette.com
"The book should delight planning practitioners, academics and their students alike by tackling the inherent assumptions that are all too often lazily made about municipally built estates." - Angela Connelly, Planning Perspectives
