Suburban Planet Making the World Urban from the Outside In

"Keil provides a crucial theoretical underpinning to show how a plurality of suburbanization processes are multifariously linked to urban expansion yet constitute their own force and way of existing. This is the first book I know to really engage this heterogeneity with all of its problems, weird splendor, and ambivalent potentiality."
AbdouMaliq Simone, Goldsmiths, University of London
 
"Suburban Planet is a major contribution to the theoretical and policy debates that are emerging in the increasingly urbanized twenty-first century. It is in the spatially 'exploding' urban places that the urban drama of the 21st century will be played out against a background of economic volatility, social tension and environmental risk."
Terry McGee, University of British Columbia
