If you are looking for the philospohy of how urban planning has been viewed through time then maybe this is the book for you. However as a text book it lacks a clear presentation of the information and is incredibly dull. When you read the chapters you have to continually look back at the overview to remember what they are rambling on about. I only gave it 2 stars instead of one because it does have a nice discussion on the philosophy of urban planning.

To much information is packed into this book. I think the author could've cut some of the information out.

I really using enjoyed this book for class!! There were alot of good topics and easy reading. Unlike some of the books where you have to be a physist to read & figure out! Good job Writers!!

the authors of this book are globalist, extreme leftist, authroritarians, and fraudulent climate change pushers.

just the right one!

Great book!

100% Expectation
