Index

"In bringing together research material in what remains a relatively under-researched area, this volume presents an excellent review of the current state of knowledge in valuing the potential implications of siting these three types of developments and deserves to be widely read." (International Planning Studies, 27 July 2015)

"This is a valuable reference source for anyone involved in the valuation or management of property affected by towers, turbines and transmission lines and I would recommend it to those professionals who practice in the area and for researchers interested in aspects of stigma associated with infrastructure projects." (Property Management, 1 August 2014)
