Designing A Dream City Is Easy; Rebuilding

Everybody's Got A Worldview, Whether They Know They Have It Or They Don't. They Might Even Get It When They Are Little Tiny Kids. Suppose They Get It When They Are In College, Which Is Often The Case, Or In High School, Whatever. Everything They Learn After That Or Every Thing They See After That, They Fit It Into That Worldview. And They Are Making Coherence Of What's Good, What's Bad, What Will Work, What Won't Work, What's Noble, What's Ignoble, And So On... All Through This Filter.

In Small Settlements Everyone Knows Your Affairs. In The City Everyone Does Not-only Those You Choose To Tell Will Know About You. This Is One Of The Attributes Of Cities That Is Precious To Most City People.

The Point Of Cities Is Multiplicity Of Choice.

New Ideas Often Need Old Buildings.

You Can Neither Lie To A Neighbourhood Park, Nor Reason With It. 'artist's Conceptions' And Persuasive Renderings Can Put Pictures Of Life Into Proposed Neighbourhood Parks Or Park Malls, And Verbal Rationalizations Can Conjure Up Users Who Ought To Appreciate Them, But In Real Life Only Diverse Surroundings Have The Practical Power Of Inducing A Natural, Continuing Flow Of Life And Use.
