“This timely and enlightening volume highlights the latest urban research in the Netherlands. From urban citizenship and civic participation to immigrant integration and urban governance, City in Sight provides valuable new perspectives on and insightful analysis of urban transformations and challenges in Dutch cities.”

— Nancy Foner, Hunter College

“City in Sight will be a key resource not only for scholars who are concerned with specifically Dutch patterns of sociospatial development, but to all who are interested in understanding contemporary urban transformations, recent urban policies and the new lines of conflict the latter have generated.”

— Neil Brenner, New York University
