Industry Reviews
"Fascinating and meticulous...anyone who wants to understand America, better understand this phenomenon."
Book Jacket - Bill McKibben
"Written with consummate energy, curiosity, and breadth. Garreau never forgets that his subject is not just tract houses and malls and mirrored-glass towers, but the American character. Like the Edge City residents who are his subjects, he has staked out a new territory to which others will surely follow him."
Book Jacket - Nicholas Lemann
"Important, brilliant and wonderfully written...Edge cities are America's next urban frontier, and Garreau's book is the best new guide to the territory."
"(A) provocative work that brings to popular attention a major restructuring that is...all around us but largely ignored by professional architects and planners."
Genovese
"Readable...a fascinating transcontinental tour...Mr. Garreau has the ability to characterize and clarify trends before they are apparent to the rest of us. His instincts are sharp, and his arguments are often persuasive...'Edge City'...is a provocative introduction to demographic and business patterns that are likely to become more important as the twenty-first century edges nearer."
