CITY STREETS

STEP 1: THE KEY ROLE OF CITY STREETS

We aim at a city vibrant with life -- a city which, above all, belongs to us. It belongs to the people who are walking and driving there. We feel our ownership, and because we feel our ownership, all the human beings are able to participate, enjoy, live life.

Streets are the living rooms of society. The space of the street belongs to people. It does not belong to cars; it is does not belong to the Transportation Department, or to Public Works. It belongs to people, to congregate, enjoy, lie down, sit, wait, run, jump. It is ours, and theirs.

It seems hard, but we can achieve all this in a city, in practice, today. That must be our aim.
