Recenzje

"Although it is a short book dedicated to the United States, its findings can be useful for other countries facing growth in their urban populations. ... The audience to whom this book is addressed includes researchers, students, and built environment practitioners, comprising urban planners, designers, public health professionals, and parks and recreation managers. ... The text is easy to read and is illustrated with maps, tables, schemes, and photos from different cities." (Gabriel Camara, Journal of the American Planning Association, November 24, 2021)
