Review:
"The appeal of the book is the way it records--very diligently--the quality of life perceived in the plan...and that achieved in the actual city. [There is] a constant play on this contrast; and yet the book never appears judgmental." --Gautam Bhatia "The appeal of the book is the way it records--very diligently--the quality of life perceived in the plan...and that achieved in the actual city.
