It will be of interest to students and scholars in a variety of disciplines, including urban sociology, urban management, anthropology, social geography and religious studies/spatial theology.»

«An excellent examination of the operations of religious urbanization. The collection carefully reveals how faith-based organizations combine the moral and infrastructural, with important consequences for urban development, city institutions, markets, districts, and urban imaginaries.»
