Its style and length make Urban Diplomacy suitable for broader audiences in the fields of urban studies and international relations. By developing a deeper understanding of city diplomacy the book can inform political practice and public policy addressing urban challenges that have global significance."" - Alejandra Trejo-Nieto, El Colegio de Mexico, Mexico, in Journal of Urban Affairs, 2022.
