The Death and Life of Great American Cities

Frank Breugelmans 

Neighborhood planning units that are significantly defined only by their fabric and the life and intricate cross-use they generate, rather than formalistic boundaries, are of course at odds with orthodox planning conceptions. The difference is tge difference between dealing with living, complex organisms, capable of shaping their own destinies, and dealing with fixed and inert settlements, capable merely of custodial care (if that) of what has been bestowed upon them.
