<p>"This brisk and trenchant defense of the importance of a genuinely public urban realm could not be more timely."<br /> -- Michael Sorkin, author of Variations on a Theme Park: the New American City and the End of Public Space<br />"What makes this edited collection especially valuable, indeed unusual, is its reliance on a wide range of intellectual approaches to public space, from the theoretical to the empirical. Public space today is simply too complicated for anything less, and this volume thankfully satisfies that demand."<br /> -- Jerold Kayden, Frank Backus Williams Professor of Urban Planning and Design, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, and author of Privately Owned Public Space</p>
