'A rich feast of empirical material on the urban environment to date ... good value for money'' - Cities

'This is a well-conceived and expertly executed book. It adds considerably to the new wave of reflective literature on sustainability. It is a powerful overview of the post-Rio situation, supported in many cases by new data. It is a valuable resource for anyone wanting to gain a global view of differing relationships between sustainability, the economy, society and economics in the 1990s. High quality editing also makes it easy for the reader to make his or her own comparisons of the papers.' - Land Use Policy
