Rating 8/10      Edition to which comments/rating relate: 6
It covers theory and empirical evidence
Course taught: Urban Economics.
Pros:
- readable, easy to grasp
- good mix of theory and evidence
- covers the literature well
- covers all relevant topics
Cons:
- most problems in the book and examples are not realistic
- 6th edition is not as well organized as 5th edition; I miss the chapters on firm location, education, and poverty (although you can get a copy of these chapters from the author's website).
