Topic: Book Review about All Over the Map: Writing on Buildings and Cities
Paper details:

Each of you will choose and review one classic planning book from the list of classic books
provided to you. Within a week, please email me the title of the book that you select for this
assignment along with a paragraph explaining your reasons for choosing it. Submit a
detailed and critical journal – quality review of the book of approximately 4 pages (double
spaced, excluding cover, bibliography). You can read a few sample book reviews in
planning journals such as The Journal of Urban Affairs, The Journal of Planning Education
and Research, and The Journal of the American Planning Association to understand the
structure of a book review. I have provided a couple of sample book reviews on Canvas.
Please use essay-style writing with Chicago/APA style citations
(https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html). You must address the following in
your book review:
• Research and briefly discuss the author’s background and the “conditions” under which
the book was written to understand the author’s viewpoint.
• Review must include a brief summary of the book parts/chapters and their main
arguments.
• Review must be critical and highlight the strong and weak points of the book, as well as
your personal reflections.
• Discuss the impact the book has had since it was written and the target audience.
