"...covers everything from the role of dance in shaping cities to race and class in South Africa to the application of military techniques to city planning." (The Observer, 19 June 2011)

"Gary Bridge and Sophie Watson's Companion to the City is a wonderful compendium of some of the best writing on cities and urbanism. It covers a wide range of approaches encompassing the city in literature, planning, representations of the city, policy and analysis. It truly is a 'companion' and like all good companions has always something relevant to say whatever the reader's mood or whatever s/he is searching for." Professor Elizabeth Wilson, previously of University of North London

"This is a first-class read, useful for architects and planners as well as for students of the city. A state-of-the-art book." Richard Sennett, London School of Economics and Political Science

"This is a substantial, well illustrated volume in five parts [...] The editors have certainly succeeded in their aim to 'create a multidiscplinary approach to cities' in compiling their 'companion'." Stephen Royle, Queen's University Belfast
