Review Quotes:
" After Suburbia is one of the most significant results of an unprecedented collective research effort on urban peripheries. Its major achievement is to place those peripheries at the core of urban theory. It will be unwise to consider doing research on suburbs without reading this collection."
--Eric Charmes, Research Director, ENTPE, University of Lyon"Rather than strictly empirical objects, suburbs here are tools exploring the intricate fabric and plurality of urbanization, hinges that expose just how varied and extensive the non-city has become, as well as the intensity of conceptual and political contestations about the nature of urban life. Assembling such an illustrative team of researchers over many years to so comprehensively chart new terrain is itself an enormous accomplishment."
--AbdouMaliq Simone, Senior Professorial Fellow at the Urban Institute, University of Sheffield
