Recenzii

'This book stands as the first comparative matrix of nearly 50 events over a century and a half, in which the relationship with urbanismo - implying morphological and design connotations which differ from planeamiento or town planning - are enriched by the author's formidable background as a planning historian and practitioner.' Arturo Almandoz, Simón Bolívar University, Venezuela 'As a historian of urban planning, Javier Monclús has a deep understanding of past Expos and other major urban spectacle events as catalysts for urban change. He combines this with direct practical engagement in the legacy planning for the recent Zaragoza Expo to produce a uniquely informative and insightful book.' Stephen V. Ward, Oxford Brookes University, UK
