Moore's ideas are stimulating . . . the book will be of interest to

*H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online*
With its rich discussion of philosophical and methodological
foundations, its clear presentation, and its engaging narrative
style, this book can be read straight through as a complete text,
or piecemeal as distinct case studies, or as a source book enhanced
by the generous bibliographies closing each chapter.
*Technology and Culture*
This book offers a unique, pragmatic approach to questions of
sustainable urbanism. By looking at three cities with different
histories and politics, Moore allows the reader to see the
difference between approaches to sustainability that are
prescriptive and ideal, and those that are pragmatic and
contextual. The book is timely and should be enormously useful to
policy makers, planners and environmentalists. This is a
significant contribution in a field that is still trying to find
its way.
*Howard Davis, professor of architecture, University of Oregon*
