We can’t have landfills forever and we can’t ask others to accept our trash.

Cities are not problems. They are solutions.

Creativity starts when you cut a zero from your budget.

There is little in the architecture of a city that is more beautifully designed than a tree.

After working in cities for nearly 40 years, I am telling you that every city can improve its quality of life in less than three years, no matter the scale or the financial conditions.

I have realized after all these years that a city that has a good quality of life attracts jobs. People don't want to invest in places if there is no quality of life.

We can’t have landfills forever and we can’t ask others to accept our trash.
