“They walked to the next block, where people were sitting on stoops, talking, running errands, and darting in and out of their homes, and Bacon told her it was an example of what cities needed to eradicate.”
Anthony Flint, Wrestling with Moses: How Jane Jacobs Took On New York's Master Builder and Transformed the American City

“Resistance to change has been strong.”
Anthony Flint, This Land: The Battle over Sprawl and the Future of America

Anthony Flint, Wrestling with Moses: How Jane Jacobs Took On New York's Master Builder and Transformed the American City
