Review:
.With the aid of photographs and historic maps, Berelowitz also makes many bold observations about a city whose charms many of us take for granted and whose defcts we blissfully ignore.. (Canadian Geographic)
.While he's enthusiastic about Vancouver, Berelowitz isn't wholly uncritical. Furthermore, he's an engaging, knowledgeable writer. I find Dream City an often fascinating overview of how urban planning has shaped a city I know well.. (Vancouver Sun)
.Dream City is an essential book from whose venturesome spirit other essential books will be written.. (Vancouver Review)
.Full of fascinating detail and thoughtful visions of Vancouver's future, Dream City is just as engaging, and maddeningly contingent, as the city it portrays.. (Quill & Quire)
.Lavishly illustrated and persuasuvely argued, architect and urban planner Lance Berelowitz's Dream City makes a case for...more growth.. (Georgia Straight)
.Even if you never get to Vancouver, this book offers the pleasure of seeing an acute, well-informed observer trying to come to grips with a unique place.. (Planning Magazine)
