I always run into these Ph.D.s. They write and write and write about sustainable development. Then these guys ask me, 'But, how do you do it?' They are scared to death to do anything.
From Jaime Lerner
A lot of people assume that the expensive ideas are the most effective ones, but that is simply not true.
A car is like a mother-in-law - if you let it, it will rule your life.
The design of a city is like a strange archeology.
A city is like a family portrait - you don't tear it up if you don't like your uncle's nose.
Cities are not problems. They are solutions.
Every city has to deal with the problem of cars and public transport.
I always try to say, 'If you want to help the environment, try to do just two things. One, use less of your car. Second, separate your garbage.'
Bureaucracy is like a fungus that contaminates everything.
Many cities end up putting off things because they want to understand everything. They don't understand that innovating is about starting. Taking care of a city is a process that you start, and then give the population space to respond.
