Recenzje

"This ground-breaking contribution to the field of urban epidemiology will be of lasting significance for our understanding of the post-COVID city."Matthew Gandy, University of Cambridge"With a sophisticated grasp of urban theory, astute historical sensibilities, and a shrewd eye for paradoxical outcomes, the authors of this timely book show how urbanization processes have produced and been transformed by infectious disease transmission. There are powerful lessons for rectifying the disastrous decisions of the past by embracing new forms of city-making."Diane E. Davis, Harvard University
