Reviews

Handmade Urbanism has the feel of a clever, even cartoony textbook: the aesthetic is accessible, texts are short, facts are simple. This approachablenessisa strength, as are some powerful photos and thoughtful contributions from noted urbanists including Richard Sennett and Ricky Burdett.--Gordon Douglas "Architectural Record"
