"Targeting people with an interest in the built environment, its challenges and the opportunities offered at crisis point, the book describes Iceland before the Crash of 2008, which ended a five-year period of building. It cites the problem as not just economic, but social, spatial, and environmental as well. The Crash and its aftermath are treated as opportunities to understand how ecological and manmade systems are related to one another. The book concludes that the Boom exacerbated pre-existing and detrimental conditions, and cites the failure of old models of design to accommodate ecological planning principles, which produced social and spatial exclusion." Eithne O'Leyne Editor, ProtoView
