Industry Reviews
"Rybczynski...is one of the more appealing advocates of small-townishness in urban planning. He's too smart to fall into the wistfulness trap, and he's got the stern stuff of the communitarian in him--he extols the civility of shopping malls, for example, even though said civility stems mostly from the absence of homeless people."
New York - Judith Shulevitz (09/18/1995)
