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

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

People very rarely think in groups; they talk together, they exchange information, they adjudicate, they make compromises. But they do not think; they do not create.

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.

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

It’s not right to put water before people and then keep them away from it.
