What attracts people most, it would appear, is other people.

The street is the river of life of the city, the place where we come together, the pathway to the center.

Nonconformity is an empty goal, and rebellion against prevailing opinion merely because it is prevailing should no more be praised than acquiescence to it. Indeed, it is often a mask for cowardice, and few are more pathetic than those who flaunt outer differences to expiate their inner surrender.

Trees are contagious; as soon as one neighborhood or street is planted, citizen pressure builds up for action from the next street.

The human backside is a dimension architects seem to have forgotten.

It is difficult to design a space that will not attract people. What is remarkable is how often this has been accomplished.

So-called 'undesirables' are not the problem. It is the measures taken to combat them that is the problem.
