Reviews

David Wachsmuth, Canada Research Chair in Urban Governance and Assistant Professor of Urban Planning, McGill University:

"Although they are an important and ubiquitous aspect of urban peripheries around the world, large-scale housing developments have not received any sustained investigation on a global scale. Addressing this important yet under-researched issue, Massive Suburbanization seeks to establish the global diversity of suburbanizations and suburbanisms, as well as to trace the political-economic practices and ideologies that are shaping them."

David J. Madden, Associate Professor of Sociology and Co-director of the Cities Programme, London School of Economics:

"Massive Suburbanization is a theoretically solid, empirically rich, highly readable, and politically relevant volume. This book speaks to actual landscapes that are proliferating today within and around urban regions across the globe."
