You cannot deal with a city if it's not socially integrated.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you say city to people, people have no problem thinking of the city as rife with problematic, screwed-up people, but if you say suburbs - and I'm not the first person to say this, it's been said over and over again in literature - there's a sense of normalcy.
Living in the city is a discordant thing, an unnatural thing. The city, a place to which one goes to do business, is a place where men overreach each other in the fight for money. But it is not a place in which one can live.
Where a city is only focused on one aspect, it becomes a city without a soul, not a city people want to live in.
Cities are not static objects to be feared or admired, but are instead a living process that residents are changing all the time.
I don't care much for the cities.
Mixed use is what cities are all about. If you don't have mixed use, you don't have cities.
Because there are a lot of big cities in the world, people who live in cities have become more isolated than ever.
Without individuals feeling safe and having an environment of safety, they then have reluctance of taking part in the city of being active. They wind up wanting to leave the city. That's more detrimental.
A lot of the interesting issues and dynamics within a city occur over things such as socio-economic issues or ethnic issues. But they require a much more elaborate model of human behavior.
Cities are not problems. They are solutions.
