Notes
- "The London School of Economics has been fortunate to find in the Alfred Herrhausen Gesellschaft (AHG) a fellow traveller, with whom we share a passion for cities and social progress. Since 2005, the Urban Age project and the associated LSE Cities research centre has benefited from the patronage of three generations of Deutsche Bank's leadership." Bibliogr. p. 426-434. Index
