Patrick Geddes

Patrick Geddes
“To avoid the Scylla of paleotechnic peace and the Charybdis of War, the leaders of the coming polity will steer a bold course for Eutopia [sic]. They will aim at the development of every region, its folk, work and place, in terms of the genius loci, of every nation, according to the best of its tradition and spirit; but in such wise that each region, each nation, makes its unique contribution to the rich pattern of our ever-evolving Western civilisation.”
Patrick Geddes, The Coming Polity: A Study in Reconstruction
“But a city is more than a place in space. It is a drama in time.”
Patrick Geddes
“A city is more than a place in space, it is a drama in time.”
Sir Patrick Geddes
