A Kirkus Reviews writeup described his book Sixteen Acres about redevelopment efforts at the World Trade Center site known as Ground Zero as "unsparingly showing New York City’s power brokers taking a nation-bending hole in the ground and mixing into it a witch’s brew of ego, politics, greed, and amnesia".[10]

Nobel has stated that protest and organizing have moved online. He stated malls are becoming a place of civic engagement and training grounds for future urbanism.[11]
