Cities produce love and yet feel none. A strange thing when you think about it, but perhaps fitting. Cities need that love more than most of us care to imagine. Cities, after all, for all their massiveness, all their there-ness, are acutely vulnerable.
Junot Diaz
Image
Cities are not problems. They are solutions.
Jaime Lerner
Image
Cities can be rebuilt, industries can be rebuilt, what really matters are strategy forces, military forces and the cadres leaders, political, military and economic.
Richard Pipes
Image
Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night.
Rupert Brooke
Image
Cities have distinct personalities. It's a matter of knowing it.
Anne Rice
Image
Cities are the huge central dynamos of all being. The power of a man can be measured today by the mile, the number of miles between him and the city that is, between him and what the city stands for -- the centre of mass.
Gerald Stanley Lee
Image
Cities are platforms for sharing.
Lisa Gansky
Image
Cities vary widely in the use of DNA testing.
Bill Dedman

Cities simply don't have the powers they need to radically innovate in cutting obesity or the number of disaffected teenagers.
Geoff Mulgan
Image
Cities and landscapes are illustrations of our spiritual and material worth. They not only express our values but give them a tangible reality. They determine the way in which we use or squander our energy, time, and land resources.
Leon Krier
Image
Cities really are mental conditions. Beijing is a nightmare. A constant nightmare.
Ai Weiwei
Image
Cities with all their advantages have something hostile to liberal learning, the seductions are so subtle and accost the senses so openly on all sides.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Image
Cities are responsible for the vast majority of the creation of the economy. They're also places into which we pour the vast majority of resources, the vast majority of energy and the places where a huge percentage of the decisions about how systems are built and how products designed, etc., happen.
Alex Steffen
Image
Cities offer us powerful leverage on our most stubborn, wasteful practices. Long commutes in our cars, big power bills from our energy-hogging buildings, shopping trips to buy stuff that'll spend a few short months in our homes and long centuries in our landfills.
Alex Steffen
Image
Cities collect people, stray and lost and deliberate arrivants.
Dionne Brand
Image
Cities with clean air gain an economic advantage, because where people want to live and work, businesses want to invest.
Michael Bloomberg
Image
Cities are made for enemies to destroy.
Will Oldham

Cities that tend of have better schools for middle-income families, they tend to have much better prospects for kids moving up in the income distribution.
Raj Chetty
Image
Cities force growth and make people talkative and entertaining, but they also make them artificial.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Cities of mortals woe-begone Fantastic care derides, But in the serious landscape lone Stern benefit abides.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Cities are distinguished by the catastrophic forms they presuppose and which are a vital part of their essential charm. New York is King Kong, or the blackout, or vertical bombardment: Towering Inferno. Los Angeles is the horizontal fault, California breaking off and sliding into the Pacific: Earthquake.
Jean Baudrillard
Image
Cities originally surrounded by a wall can produce an urban population cut off from the surrounding fields and from agriculture altogether. At the same time, the greenbelt laws eliminate the possibility of the unchecked expansion of a city into a monstrous megalopolis. If there is a need for additional homes, a new city must be established.
Yehuda Levi
Image
Cities aren't like people they live on and on, even though their reason for being where they are has gone downriver and out to sea.
John Updike
Image
Cities may now bulldoze private citizens' homes, farms and small businesses to make way for shopping malls or other developments.
