Parks and playgrounds are the soul of a city.

Cities get built out of poet's dreams.

In merging nature and culture the most successful cities combine such universal needs as maintaining or restoring contact with the cycles of nature, with specific, local characteristics.

I've searched all the parks in all the cities and found no statues of committees.

The more successfully a city mingles everyday diversity of uses and users in its everyday streets, the more successfully, casually (and economically) its people thereby enliven and support well-located parks that can thus give back grace and delight to their neighborhoods instead of vacuity.

i know at last what i want to be when i grow up. when i grow up i want to be a little boy.
