    Detailing the contradictions of urban planning
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2019*

While I didn't agree with everything in this book and the author is further left on the political spectrum than most, I really appreciated the book and learned a lot. This book tackled issues that most books in this genre fail to address with sincerity, like the contradictory nature of planners representing both real estate capital and those most at risk from the hyper-investment of real estate capital.  I have yet to read a better account of the realities of gentrification and the municipal planning profession. A short, quick, and hard-hitting book - highly recommend to anyone thinking about becoming an urban planner.

    Socialist Planning Nerds Unite! ✊🏼
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2020*

A great explanation of how capitalist planning has gotten us to the crisis we exist in today, and the role that so-called “neutral” urban planners have played. Much needed ideology for anyone considering the planning field or anyone working towards fixing our housing crisis through systemic change.

    I regret buying  this book....
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2019*

Pros1: This book starts out good enough....it breaks down how Gentrification arguably has roots as early as when the English men forced the native Americans out. The book then proceeds to break down 3 "gentrification" esc movements that sort of set the stage for what we have today....but after this the book gets rather problematic.2. the book cover is amazing at least for the book I got.More Cons then pros tho… 1. For one thing the author how do I put it.....he makes an explanation of something more complex then it has to be2. I'm a well....i'm very very very liberal on some issues....but other issues i'm conversative on them.  But my point is that  generally speaking on the issues I am liberal on I am like super liberal...for example I believe we need to not just fix the healthcare system but replace it with a single payer one. As a result...I identify as a democrat because of my extreme views on certain issues...and the fact that I side with democrats on around 60% of issues. But anyway my point is since i'm mostly democratic..and I ten to be a "radical one" at that ...you would think I wouldn't mind a book that's extreme to a degree...however one reviewer who said this author is more left leaning then most......welll lets just say that's an understatement. And this perspective caused the author to come to some conclusions that were very questionable based off even the evidence he chose to use in the book.3. The author blames planners way too much for gentrification issues and some of it comes back to what I mentioned earlier...about the author coming to the wrong conclusions. One example of this is where  the author talks about how the planner isn't just looking to build nice places for people...but the planner is also trying to make a profit...and then says that based off this evidence  planners are taking from us.But IDK about you but  don't we all sure work at a certain job (outside of part time jobs to pay for school) to help people....but also make a profit??? so why blame the planners....blame the elite/governments over these planners that make it to where they can only make a profit if they participate in gentrification …. Also past de factor and de jure methods have proven to be the main cause of Gentrification but the author concludes government sponsored gentrification is a side problem...planners are the main problem.4. The author struggles when it comes to transitioning from a idea/point/whatever to an example...it's just a rough transition.  5. The book focuses on New York, which is a extreme example that can’t be applied everywhere.
