Editorial Reviews

'Provide(s) a thoughtful overview of current approaches and issues that include numerous case studies of actual sites.' - Landscape Architecture

'Manufactured Sites stands as an important contribution to the field of brownfield reclamation, both for documenting inventive work on a range of professional fronts and for its successful attempts to broaden the cultural and critical discussions surrounding brownfield re-use. - Land Forum

' This volume offers an excellant overview of the environmental laws that govern site clean up as well as case studies in landscape restoration. - Architectural Record

'This is a valuable feature of the book, the responses offer a critique of the technologies and projects described and are far sighted about the potential benefits of the new methods, particularly if they can provide the inspirational basis for new design approaches.' Landscape Research
