"Victoria Henshaw wants to bring our sense of smell back to the
fore -- and is building a collaborative odour map to help. Her
recent book, Urban Smellscapes, argues that scent has been
crucially overlooked in urban planning."Oliver Wainwright, Wired

"… the book is a valuable and detailed addition to the literature
on the human senses, urban design and planning, and space and
place. It combines rich qualitative data and examples of how smells
are mediators and signals of urban life and for urban planners and
politicians. With the necessary geographic sensitivity of designing
and planning built environments also according to the sense of
smell, the applicability and alignment of other planning methods
and policies can be attained." – Bodo Kubartz, Independent Scholar,
