'Drawing on an extensive body of literature and examples from prosperous and not-so-prosperous cities around the world this book attampts to explain the evolution of great world cities...Vast mass of literature is coupled with illustrative cases in a way that makes the book informative and an enjoyable reading experience.' -- Kristina Vaarst Anderson Regional Studies, vol46:07:2012 'Kennedy has written a lively and thoughtful book... he carefully builds a novel argument about wealth creation and urban form and does so in an accessible way that teaches urban history and economic concepts as it goes.' -- Clinton J. Andrews Journal of Industrial Ecology, 26 October 2012
