From Publishers Weekly
Unlike the pre-modern city, where workplaces and residences were integrated, suburbia, as this "searching study" reveals, is a middle-class invention. In tracing suburban history, Fishman "makes us keenly aware that modern, class-segregated suburbs represent a total transformation of urban values," reported PW.

From Library Journal
Noted scholar of suburbia Fishman presents an overview of the history of the movement of the Anglo-American middle class to detached homes in natural settings on the fringes of cities. This move to the suburbs, beginning mainly in the 1800s, he feels took place first in England, then the United States. Among the causes for this great change were the growth of city ugliness and the working class due to industrialization and advances in transportation and communication. Covering some of the same ground as Kenneth Jackson's Crabgrass Frontier ( LJ 9/1/85) but reaching markedly different conclusions, Fishman's book belongs in academic and large public libraries.

郊區史經典
评分雖說作者的本意是研究“郊區”概念的起源和演進，但是這一對起源的追尋其實更接近福柯的譜係學路徑，起源與譜係之間的張力大大提升瞭它的可讀性。唯一的不足是對七八十年代的城市狀況過於樂觀，似乎邊緣城市的興起超越瞭城郊鄉的分野，終於許諾瞭一個光明的未來（然而並沒有）。
评分Planning for American Metropolis, book 4
