“In great cities, spaces as well as places are designed and built: walking, witnessing, being in public, are as much part of the design and purpose as is being inside to eat, sleep, make shoes or love or music. The word citizen has to do with cities, and the ideal city is organized around citizenship -- around participation in public life.”
― Wanderlust: A History of Walking
― Wanderlust: A History of Walking
“Traffic congestion is caused by vehicles, not by people in themselves.”
