Recensioner i media

"Lucid, succinct, and highly accessible. Readers with an interest in urban affairs will find this book of great value, while its women-centred approach to urban citizenship will appeal to urban analysts and their students in a range of disciplines. The author's comparative analysis of the social, political, and cultural characteristics of two cities that have recently experienced governmental reform is particularly compelling." - Nirmala Rao, co-author of Governing London"
