New Ideas Must Use Old Buildings

Everybody's Got A Worldview, Whether They Know They Have It Or They Don't. They Might Even Get It When They Are Little Tiny Kids. Suppose They Get It When They Are In College, Which Is Often The Case, Or In High School, Whatever. Everything They Learn After That Or Every Thing They See After That, They Fit It Into That Worldview. And They Are Making Coherence Of What's Good, What's Bad, What Will Work, What Won't Work, What's Noble, What's Ignoble, And So On... All Through This Filter.

Cities Have The Capability Of Providing Something For Everybody, Only Because, And Only When, They Are Created By Everybody.

Just The Way In Europe, Paris, Copenhagen, And Stockholm, And Frankfurt, Possibly And Berlin, Certainly, All Had Important Roles, Because Of Independence. Because They Were Depending On Themselves.

In Small Settlements Everyone Knows Your Affairs. In The City Everyone Does Not-only Those You Choose To Tell Will Know About You. This Is One Of The Attributes Of Cities That Is Precious To Most City People.

Intricate Minglings Of Different Uses In Cities Are Not A Form Of Chaos. On The Contrary, They Represent A Complex And Highly Developed Form Of Order.
