“Milan has entered one of the most exciting periods of its urban development…it is precisely this renewed energy that Design City Milan evokes”. (Building Engineer, April 2007)  “The research conducted by the two authors has uncovered a city that few tourists and even few milanesi are aware of…” (Ulisse, April 2007)"…the book presents a series of recent architectural interventions through a rich collection of photographs, organised by thematic sections corresponding to various aspects of the Milanese identity." (Ottagono, July 07)
