A good city is like a good party - people stay longer than really necessary, because they are enjoying themselves.

I find it striking that the quality of the urban habitat of homo sapieans is so weakly researched compared to the habitats of gorillas, elephants, and Bengal tigers and panda bears in China…you hardly see anything on the habitat of man in the urban environment.

A good city is like a good party - people stay longer than really necessary, because they are enjoying themselves.

Make it nice where you are, and put the density on top.

In a Society becoming steadily more privatized with private homes, cars, computers, offices and shopping centers, the public component of our lives is disappearing. It is more and more important to make the cities inviting, so we can meet our fellow citizens face to face and experience directly through our senses. Public life in good quality public spaces is an important part of a democratic life and a full life.

A good city is like a good party. People don't want to leave early.

Nothing in this world is more simple and more cheap than making cities that provide better for people.
