[Eugene Pustoshkin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Книга посвящена цельному и трансдисциплинарному развитию городов и сообществ. По-настоящему уникально всеохватная и исчерпывающая система координат. Всё рационально, прагматично, но при этом со включением неконвенциональных (пост-постконвенциональных) перспектив и реалий.
