"Cities should be about the people they shelter, about face to face contact, about condensing the ferment of human activity, about generating and expressing local culture. Whatever the climate, in a rich or poor society, the aim of sustainable development is to create a flexible structure for a vigorous community within a healthy non-polluting environment." Richard Rogers - Cities for a Small Planet
