I presume you mean someone comparing it with the book - else it begs the 
question why don't you go look at it!  I thought it was quite an 
interesting site and it looked very comprehensive if the quote given 
here the other day was anything to go by - it was all there I think. 
But I've not seen the book.  I should like to know what my colleagues 
in the Urban Design centre think of it, if anything.

The one thing I thought odd about it was the regional/metropolitan 
section.  I have seen what I think are better rationales presented for 
urban topology design.  It relies too much no a premise of a governance 
ideology (global government, local control sort of thing) that is so far 
off as to do some damage to the rest of its discussions, in my opinion.
