If we’re going to talk about transport, I would say that the great city is not the one that has highways, but one where a child on a tricycle or bicycle can go safely everywhere.

An advanced city is not one where even the poor use cars, but rather one where even the rich use public transport.

When you first get a hill in sight, look at the top of it only once. Then imagine yourself at the bottom of the other side.
