Reviews and Awards
"Brenner's work will undoubtedly inspire future theorists of alter-urbanizations..." - Julian B. Hartman, School of Geography, Development, and Environment, University of Arizona, The AAG Review of Books (Routledge Taylor & Francis Group)
"New Urban Spaces is a landmark contribution to urban and regional studies. Through a rich, dense and provocative argument, Neil Brenner synthesizes over a decade-and-a-half's work on state rescaling, globalization and urban governance into a comprehensive and radical retheorization of urbanization" - Jean-Paul D. Addie, Georgia State University, Regional Studies
"Brenner's new book New Urban Spaces - Urban Theory and the Scale Question reads as a poignant and well-articulated (self-)critique of what the author sees as a dominant tendency in urban theory to envisage the urban and the rural in opposition to each other... [New Urban Spaces] offers a skillfully-wrought exploration by a leading scholar of urban theory into the multi-scalar realm of urbanity and its highly complex interpenetrations with state power..." - David Leupold, Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient, Berlin, Eurasian Geography and Economics
