"Geography as a way of thinking has been in recession.

Anderson makes a new start." -Leon van Schaik AO, Emeritus Professor of Architecture, RMIT, Melbourne, Australia
"Linking the rewilding of the future city to the wilding of the people who live there, Anderson’s short history of ‘geography’s downfall’ makes a compelling case for ‘turning over and breaking the ground’ in a new, sustainable contract not only with topography but with our own ‘wild surfaces’.
