	Book review: Transnational Architecture and Urbanism: Rethinking How Contemporary Cities Plan reviewed by Federico Camerin “I strongly recommend Davide Ponzini’s Transnational Architecture and Urbanism for all architects, urban planners, designers and policy makers interested in the current evolution of the shape of the city.”
