Living in cities, we need a new way to think about how we move and what we notice… This strange, exciting book offers just that¬–a new way to notice public space. It is the brainchild of Nato Thompson: the results of his fascinations with urban planning post-Katrina, abandoned or unnoticed urban landscapes and public art.
—Susan Salter Reynold, Los Angeles Times

—Alan Shields, interview with Jill Brienza, 1999
