Reviews for Triumph of the City
Needs better editing
An ok book, but reads like a series of lectures. A bit all over the place in terms of content - some typical economists glossing over human tragedy to make a 'factual' point ( see the section on slums). Overall disappointed - got tired of the aim,Essenes of parts and left it half read. by Mark

NEVER!
Never order from this website! I ordered this book on January, 10, and dispatched on Jan,13, but still i couldnt have my order!!!! If my book would start walking from UK to Spain, I am sure it would have been arrived until now!!!! Very very low quality, they are definitely cheating about the dates!!! by Burcu Kucukkeles
