New Ideas Must Use Old Buildings

But Look What We Have Built Low-income Projects That Become Worse Centers Of Delinquency, Vandalism And General Social Hopelessness Than The Slums They Were Supposed To Replace. Cultural Centers That Are Unable To Support A Good Bookstore. Civic Centers That Are Avoided By Everyone But Bums. Promenades That Go From No Place To Nowhere And Have No Promenaders. Expressways That Eviscerate Great Cities. This Is Not The Rebuilding Of Cities. This Is The Sacking Of Cities.

You Can't Rely On Bringing People Downtown, You Have To Put Them There.

Cities Have The Capability Of Providing Something For Everybody, Only Because, And Only When, They Are Created By Everybody.

All Through Organized History, If You Wanted Prosperity You Had To Have Cities. Cities Are Places That Attract New People With New Ideas.
