Recenzje

'The contributors to this volume bring to us the depth and diversity of the challenge we face in the way cities are conceived, adapted, designed, developed, and managed in a world confronted with increasing road accident fatalities, and disease and death due to climate change and atmospheric pollution. These contributions should help policy makers and researchers to better equip them for the road ahead.' - Planning in London
