The design of a city is like a strange archeology Picture Quote #1

There are three major issues now that are becoming important, not only for cities, but for all mankind: Mobility, sustainability - which is linked to mobility - and social diversity Picture Quote #1

Many cities end up putting off things because they want to understand everything. They don’t understand that innovating is about starting. Taking care of a city is a process that you start, and then give the population space to respond Picture Quote #1

Creativity starts when you cut a zero from your budget Picture Quote #1

Many cities end up putting off things because they want to understand everything. They don’t understand that innovating is about starting. Taking care of a city is a process that you start, and then give the population space to respond Picture Quote #1

A city grows like an organism. It is a structure of living and working together a mix of functions Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If you want creativity, take a zero off your budget. If you want sustainability, take off two zeros Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The lack of resources is no longer an excuse not to act. The idea that action should only be taken after all the answers and the resources have been found is a sure recipe for paralysis. The planning of a city is a process that allows for corrections; it is supremely arrogant to believe that planning can be done only after every possible variable has been controlled Picture Quote #1

There is little in the architecture of a city that is more beautifully designed than a tree Picture Quote #1
