From Richard Sennett's The Uses of Disorder, "The ills of the city are not mechanical ones of better transport, better financing, and the like; they are the human ones of providing a place where [individuals] can grow into adults, and where adults can continue to engage in truly social existence."

Until we recognize that cities and downtowns in particular are for staying in, not moving through we will remain mired in mechanical and logistical thinking while human experience and quality of life suffer.
