" - a fascinating study of the social and political processes of urban development as well as the inherent complexity surrounding the definition of place - an interesting and sharp ethnography. I can recommend the book to anyone interested in contemporary government, the market and citizen engagement." * Suomen Antropologi: Journal of the Finnish Anthropologcial Society " - presents multiple perspectives with a clear focus, enabling the reader to apprehend a complex, consequential, and always transforming site as the nexus of multiple views, values, experiences, and hopes. Smart, deeply researched, interpretively sophisticated without being overburdened by theory, this is a real contribution to an anthropology of urban sites and life." * Don Brenneis, University of California, Santa Cruz
