Review:

"The authors of POP-UP CITY, Jeroen Beekmans and Joop de Boer, take thinking about city making to a completely new level. Not only the concept of the book is original, but also its layout. Smart introductions sketching wider context of each subject (like public space, shopping or work life) are followed by examples, which prove that inventiveness nowadays has no limits. Nicely illustrated, the book features numerous really fascinating initiatives that are reshaping cities all around the world and adapting them to the current pace and style of life."
