«This text examines the myriad ways in which ‘the city is constituted through communication.’ In doing so, it provides a significant and well-crafted contribution to extant work on the diverse ways in which cities, considered in part (parks, buildings, casinos), or in whole (communication audit) function communicatively. While the topics are varied, the essays reflect a common concern with specific themes (inside/outside) and offer a highly coherent set of analyses.» (Raymie McKerrow, Ohio University)<br /> «A first-rate addition not only to the growing field of urban communication. Demonstrating the maturation of the scholarship, the book takes as its central theme the ‘communicative city.’ The richness of this phrase is well demonstrated in the excellent essays that range from critical engagements with urban spaces, to interpretation of spatial representations, to the ways interpersonal, communal, and mediated communication make and remake the city.» (Greg Dickinson, Colorado State University)
