It may not be the David Letterman Top Ten list or the New York Times Book Review's top 15 list, but I'll take it! I salute Planetizen for its good job judgment and I'm glad they liked my new book.

"Planetizen is pleased to release its sixth annual list of the ten best books in the planning field. With titles covering some of the most timely issues in planning -- such as the role of planning in the aftermath of disasters, along with the contentious and continuing debate over sprawl and smart growth -- the list gives readers an overview of the best ideas and writing in the field.

The Planetizen editorial staff based its 2007 edition list on a number of criteria, including editorial reviews, sales rankings, popularity, Planetizen reader nominations, number of references, recommendations from experts and the book's potential impact on the urban planning, development and design professions."
