When the Great Fire of London destroyed most of the medieval city in 1666, Christopher Wren was invited to design a new one.

Whether it is an attempt to bomb the New York City subway system, an attempt to bring down an airplane over Detroit, an attempt to set off a bomb in Times Square...

[We’re] told cars cause pollution. A 100 years ago city streets were ankle deep in horse excrement. What kind of pollution do you want? Would you rather die of cancer at eighty or typhoid fever at nine? (City Quotes)
It’s unnatural for people to run around the city streets unless they are thieves or victims. It makes people nervous to see someone running. I know that when I see someone running on my street, my instincts tell me to let the dog go after him. (City Quotes)
Each day when you see us black folk upon the dusty land of your farm or upon the hard pavement of your city streets, you usually take it for granted and think you know us, but our history is far stranger than you suspect, and we are not what we seem. (City Quotes)

I love just seeing shots of New York inside of a fictional movie that are not controlled. I do not like shots with extras, I have to say. I don’t mind extras in other scenes, but I love New York City streets just as they look. I don’t even care if someone looks at the camera. It doesn’t bother me. (City Quotes)
Every city in the world always has a gang, a street gang, or the so-called outcasts (City Quotes)
Bonuses balance my budget in New York City. The bigger the bonuses on Wall Street, the more money I had to spend on poor people. The New York City budget is determined greatly by the bonuses given on Wall Street. (City Quotes)

It’s a place I know intimately well and love, and I think there’s a great story to be told with L.A. (City Quotes)
I live in New Hampshire. We’re in favor of global warming. Eleven hundred more feet of sea-level rises? I’ve got beachfront property. You tell us up there, ‘By the end of the century, New York City could be underwater,’ and we say, ‘Your point is?’ (City Quotes)
I’m obviously not an advocate of Christian America or a simplistic view of America as ‘a city on a hill.’ (City Quotes)
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges facing our cities or to the housing crisis, but the two issues need to be considered together.

After two or three years, four years, I became an advocate of choice, of scholarships, and vouchers, and parental choice, because I thought that was the only way to really change the school system. (City Quotes)
