“The contempt of motorists for pedestrians is so ironic, because no matter how many cars they have, they are also pedestrians, biologically. Unless they fly to the doors of their cars.”
Archimedes Muzenda, Dystopia: How The Tyranny of Specialists Fragment African Cities

“If you are a pedestrian, you are not mechanical enough to be of priority to traffic engineers.”
Archimedes Muzenda, Dystopia: How The Tyranny of Specialists Fragment African Cities

“A city without some form of a transect is like a country without a constitution; It is a breeding ground for spatial anarchy.”
Archimedes Muzenda, Dystopia: How The Tyranny of Specialists Fragment African Cities
