"It is refreshing to see an attempt to address the new-town phenomenon with a modicum of academic rigor, though this can sometimes Iead to overly dense descriptions that are not suitably differentiated from the officious proclamations from the authorities from which they are derived. There is thorough and honest examrnation of the trend, and representative examples thereof, rather than simplistic representation of harbingers of a dystopian future. The contrast between the formal; academic languagewith its page-long, unbroken paragraphs, and the stark, black-and-white photos and personal essays about on-the-ground visits and conversations with locals, is quite pronounced, suggesting there couid be a middle ground."
