A Region Is An Area Safely Larger

I Think That Intelligent People To A Great Extent Are Captives Of Their Time Or Place.

Today Barbarism Has Taken Over Many City Streets, Or People Fear It Has, Which Comes To Much The Same Thing In The End.

To Approach A City, Or Even A City Neighborhood, As If It Were A Larger Architectural Problem, Capable Of Being Given Order By Converting It Into A Disciplined Work Of Art, Is To Make The Mistake Of Attempting To Substitute Art For Life. The Results Of Such Profound Confusion Between Art And Life Are Neither Life Nor Art. They Are Taxidermy.

All Through Organized History, If You Wanted Prosperity You Had To Have Cities. Cities Are Places That Attract New People With New Ideas.

The Second Mode To Deal With Unsafe Cities Is To Take Refuge In Vehicles. This Is The Technique Practiced In The Big Wild-animal Reservations Of Africa, Where Tourists Are Warned To Leave Their Cars Under No Circumstances Until They Reach A Lodge. It Is Also The Technique Practiced In Los Angeles.
