Biography

S. J. Neary, M. S. Symes, F. E., Brown

'What a marathon for the editors at the Urban Renewal Research Unit at Manchester! To achieve the publication of such an extensive volume in the same year as the conference whose proceedings it reports is indeed impressive ... More of this kind of literature ... would help to enhance the societal aspects of planning immensely.' - AESOP News
