“A city is the pulsating product of the human hand and mind, reflecting man’s history, his struggle for freedom, creativity, genius - and his selfishness and errors.” Charles Abrams, Chairman, Department of City Planning, Columbia University from The City Is the Frontier (1965)
Quoted from the March 2005 Green City Gazette published on the web by ANJEC at http://anjec.org
