If you want creativity, take a zero off your budget. If you want sustainability, take off two zeros.

A lot of people assume that the expensive ideas are the most effective ones, but that is simply not true.

A city grows like an organism. It is a structure of living and working together a mix of functions.

The city is not the problem; the city is the solution.

A city is like a family portrait - you don't tear it up if you don't like your uncle's nose.

There is no endeavor more noble than the attempt to achieve a collective dream. When a city accepts as a mandate its quality of life, when it respects the people who live in it, when it respects the environment, when it prepares for future generations, the people share the responsibility for that mandate. This shared cause is the only way to achieve that collective dream.

Creativity starts when you cut a zero from your budget.
