Recenzje

"We need to embrace cities in all their diversity and complexity while realizing that we can never truly grasp the infinitely radical plurality of urbanism. This is the core of Martin and Pierce's captivating methodological narrative of place-framing as an analytical and political strategy for the urban age. A delightful book!"Elvin Wyly, University of British Columbia"This book will change how you think about cities and the urban. Martin and Pierce advance place-framing as a deeply compelling approach to studying cities. They draw from classical texts and concepts in urban studies and allied fields to offer a new and highly accessible way to untangle the messiness of the city."Katherine Hankins, Georgia State University
