I just think cities are unnatural, basically. I know there are people who live happily in them, and I have cities that I love, too. But it’s a disaster that we have moved so far from nature. (Cities Quotes)
I think ultimately, bringing more nature back into the city is a way to deal with urban sprawl and things like that. If the cities feel a little more natural, people like to live there more rather than moving out and dividing up another piece of land that shouldn’t be touched. (Cities Quotes)
There is a huge sense of loneliness as people leave villages and move to cities. It’s hard to find that human connection as you move away from where you started. (Cities Quotes)
As the years passed in my village, I witnessed poorly educated young men leaving to seek the greater comforts and liberations of big cities. I would see them on my visits to Delhi. (Cities Quotes)
Guidebooks used to write the name of my city in two ways: Gjirokaster in Albanian, and Argyrokastron for foreigners. The classical-sounding name somehow gave it better credentials, because people in the Balkans famously exaggerate and often call their villages cities. (Cities Quotes)
Barcelona is one of my favourite cities in the world. The fashion and people are just so effortlessly cool. (Cities Quotes)
Because of my job, I get a lot of opportunity to grab a few days here and there in many cool cities for press commitments, magazine shoots and premieres - Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Paris, Stockholm, New York, Berlin. I always try to get to a gallery or museum if there’s time. (Cities Quotes)
It’s rare that you have a policy issue that can be solved by throwing more money at the problem, but the technology to make bus service more frequent and equip buses with GPS systems that provide real-time schedule updates to bus stops exists and operates in many parts of the world. We should be installing it in our major cities. (Cities Quotes)
In India, we now see many highly qualified professionals ready to work in the rural hinterland and in their own towns and cities to tackle development issues directly without depending much on the government. (Cities Quotes)
You can use up all the slums for new development. In all the cities of the world, there are large areas of these. Also, you can avoid the spread of these silly suburban houses. Chicago has thousands of them all over the place. (Cities Quotes)
I love Paris - it’s one of my favorite cities - and so to shoot a video in Paris was a dream come true. (Cities Quotes)
We form cities in order to enhance interaction, to facilitate growth, wealth creation, ideas, innovation, but in so doing, we create, from a physicist’s viewpoint, entropy. (Cities Quotes)
Booming cities, and the provinces and states in which they are located, are driving forces in economic growth today. Consequently, they constitute the new frontier in America’s international economic policy. (Cities Quotes)
The Dallas model, prominent in the South and Southwest, sees a growing population as a sign of urban health. Cities liberally permit housing construction to accommodate new residents. The Los Angeles model, common on the West Coast and in the Northeast Corridor, discourages growth by limiting new housing. (Cities Quotes)
One of the problems with any kind of talking about the media landscape is that we’ve just been through an unusually stable period in which, for fifty years, English language media was centered in three cities - London, New York, and Los Angeles - around a very stable group of people working in a relatively stable set of media. (Cities Quotes)
I think the kind of landscape that you grew up in, it lives with you. I don’t think it’s true of people who’ve grown up in cities so much; you may love a building, but I don’t think that you can love it in the way that you love a tree or a river or the colour of the earth; it’s a different kind of love. (Cities Quotes)
Just as language has no longer anything in common with the thing it names, so the movements of most of the people who live in cities have lost their connection with the earth; they hang, as it were, in the air, hover in all directions, and find no place where they can settle. (Cities Quotes)
We live in a complicated, oppressive world with enormous cities and vast populations, and I try to contribute by making it more light and open and calm. (Cities Quotes)
Stories are like that. Like cities, they are built on the stones and bones of the past. (Cities Quotes)
There isn’t much discussion of ruling class in America even in Boston, probably one of the most class-conscious cities in the country? (Cities Quotes)
For over 20 years, I have been saying that Chicago is by far one of the greatest food cities in the world. (Cities Quotes)
When there were fears about the future of this nation’s older cities... when a few of the cities teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, all eyes were focused on Chicago for contrast. (Cities Quotes)
I absolutely love London; it is one of my favourite cities in the world (Cities Quotes)
London is one of the most exciting cities in the world, with a melting pot of cultures and diversity. (Cities Quotes)
What was extraordinary about Occupy London was that it was a village with a louder voice than one of the biggest cities of the world. (Cities Quotes)
Cities depend on a healthy mix of uses and people for their vitality. As a pre-eminent world city, London is a magnet to people from across the globe. (Cities Quotes)
We’ve achieved this feeling, for instance, with the colors. The colors in the park are harmonious with each other, not like in big cities where they don’t. (Cities Quotes)
The peoples of the old world have their cities built for times gone by, when railroads and gunpowder were unknown. We can have cities for the new age that has come, adopted to its better conditions of use and ornament. We want, therefore, a city planning profession... (Cities Quotes)
As an indigenous leader from Bolivia, I know what exclusion looks like. Before 1952, my people were not allowed to even enter the main squares of Bolivia’s cities, and there were almost no indigenous politicians in government until the late 1990s. (Cities Quotes)
I love cities, I spend most of my life talking about cities. And the design of cities does have an effect on your life. You’re lucky if you can see trees out of your window and you have a square nearby, or a bar, a cornershop, a surgery. Then you’re living well. (Cities Quotes)
