All those involved in the future of cities should read this monumental work - your imagination will be freed. Practical guidance combined with visionary insights and challenges weave through every chapter ...' Clive Harridge, President, Royal Town Planning Institute, UK 'Charles Landry has been a long term contributor to 'the art of city-making'. In his new book he provides a clear insight into this lost art and the way forward as our cities must become attractive, sustainable and financially viable living environments.' Professor Rob Adams, Director, Design & Culture, City of Melbourne, Australia 'This book has power and art to evolve Asian and Japanese cities creatively, and it is a bible for people interested in the future of a city.' Dr Masayuki Sasaki, Dean, Professor of Graduate School for Creative Cities, Osaka City University, Japan 'City-making is a difficult art, and Charles Landry has captured its essence. His world view is valuable to people everywhere who care about cities. All of his books sit highlighted and dog-eared near my desk, and this one will be no exception.'
