San Francisco is one of my favorite cities in the world.
We are extraordinarily lucky in the U.K. to have inherited a diverse range of cities that bear the imprints of many centuries of human habitation.
I remember the evacuee children from towns and cities throwing stones at the farm animals. When we explained that if you did that you wouldn’t have any milk, meat or eggs, they soon learned to respect the animals.
I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colors for those who see none.
A lot of the factories that had been the bedrock of many small cities were being shut down, which led me to investigate what I’m calling the ‘de-industrial revolution.’
All cities are mad: but the madness is gallant. All cities are beautiful: but the beauty is grim.
The environmental effects of the automobile are well known: motor vehicles cause, for example, as much as 75 percent of the noise and 80 percent of the air pollution in our cities, and the industry must face mounting pressure from environmentalists.
There are so many lovely cities around the U.S., around the world, that it’s almost impossible to pick one.
There is the GIS world that is largely managing authoritative data sources, supporting geocentric workflows like fixing roads, making cities more livable through better planning, environmental management, forest management, drilling in the right location for oil, managing assets and utilities.
I go to a lot of writers conferences and literary festivals that tend to be in college towns or cities, and I’m eager to see what happens if those same texts and those same questions move outside of those areas to smaller rural communities where there are surely people who read and love poetry.
If we wish to rebuild our cities, we must first rebuild our neighborhoods. And to do that, we must understand that the quality of life is more important than the standard of living.
My goal is always to create something exceptional that enhances cities and enriches the lives of the people who live and work in them.
I think Donald Trump taps into an anger that I hear every day. People are angry that a commonsense thing like securing the border or ending sanctuary cities is somehow considered extreme. It’s not extreme; it’s common sense. We need to secure the border.
The times in my life I’ve felt the most alive is when I’m having a connection with people. We need to hack cities in a way to bring back that community culture.
Washington, D.C., is one of my favorite cities.
I think ‘The Wire’ really is relatable. It reflects an ongoing issue across America, about inaccuracies in major cities between rich and the poor and some of the things that go on behind the red tape of council and government bodies.
Cities are 2% of the earth’s crust, but they are 50% of the world’s population.
I don’t think that you can address poverty unless you address the lack of affordable housing in the cities.

I’m getting to be an expert in finding hairdressers in foreign cities.
I have three favorite cities: London, Wellington, and Los Angeles. What makes them so good? The friends who live there.
My films play only in Bengal, and my audience is the educated middle class in the cities and small towns. They also play in Bombay, Madras and Delhi where there is a Bengali population.
I see the people in Detroit are very – they’re like a lot of cities, but they’re very proud to be from there and they really want to see change and they really want to see good things happen.
Life is very busy now. I find that in today’s cities, the public is very tired after working the whole day. When concerts start at eight o’clock, the wife pushes the husband to go to the concert, where some promptly fall asleep!
Cities are just a physical manifestation of your interactions, our interactions, and the clustering and grouping of individuals.
I don’t think the Internet has replaced cities in any significant way, nor really could it. Cities are dynamic – and deeply seductive for the people who flock there – because they broker all sorts of fantastic and useful connections, cultural and economic and social.
Every time I come back to the Twin Cities, I feel like I’m coming back home.
Across our small globe, dawn sweeps each morning, lighting cities and cottages, barrios and villages. Whoever and wherever you may be, you can step out into that morning sunrise and know, from our American example, that life does not have to be the way it is for you.
Even before you get to self-driving vehicles, there’s just a huge amount of positive things that happen to cities when you do ridesharing.
My audience is, you know, pinkos in big cities.
During my childhood, my father, a Southern Baptist minister, and my mother, a teacher, made sure I took educational trips to cities such as Washington, D.C., Williamsburg, Va., Philadelphia, and Boston to learn about America’s history.
Why did I choose Washington among offers from other cities? Because it is the capital of the world.
Cities, too, are embracing digitization. Barcelona has installed in-ground parking sensors and launched connected public transportation as part of its Smart City strategy.
Marriage is the mother of the world. It preserves kingdoms, and fills cities and churches, and heaven itself.
I’d like to see Apple and Dell factories be brought to the inner cities; in every project in America, there’s some factory there, and it’s abandoned, and I’d like to see those factories open and bring jobs to America.
We say we want to create beauty, identity, quality, singularity. And yet, maybe in truth these cities that we have are desired. Maybe their very characterlessness provides the best context for living.
NestAway is a disruptive product creating a win-win opportunity, not just for direct stakeholders like owners and tenants but for the society at large by making cities safer, especially for young women.
What isn’t for everybody shouldn’t be for anybody: the world’s opera houses are the reasons we have cardboard cities.
What if cities embraced a culture of sharing? I see a future of shared cities that bring us community and connection instead of isolation and separation.
A lot of ancient poetry sees in nature a reflection of human emotions, and in a post-industrialized era, once people have become more aware of the necessity of a more harmonious relation between man and nature, we need to build cities which can connect with human spiritual needs instead of being merely functional.
In China’s big cities, American products – say, for instance, Proctor and Gamble shampoos or many other goods – are widely coveted by a lot of Chinese consumers.
Swine flu is not an anomaly. We know that swine flu – like the vast majority of new outbreaks – comes from animals. We should be monitoring those animals and the humans that come into contact with them, so we can catch these viruses early, before they infect major cities and spread throughout the world.
All have used the economic opportunity of a new arena project to transform their cities into the future.
Both ‘The Wire’ and ‘Queer as Folk’ had a big scope. They were panoramas, telling ambitious stories about two cities, Baltimore and Manchester, for the first time.
I had been in so many towns and cities in America with John Kennedy, but I was not with him in Dallas, Texas, on November 21, 1963.
With the national team, we have these fans, people love of us, people come up to us in our cities, and they’re like, ‘We love you – what are you doing in Seattle?’ And I’m like, ‘I live here, and I’ve played here for the last five years.’
In cities like New York, it is common to find taxicabs with wireless-enabled card readers.
Seeing what kinds of songs work in other cities and other parts of the world was pretty eye-opening. I know it changed how I approached the second record big-time.
We believe widespread adoption of home solar will significantly improve life in cities by phasing out polluting coal plants, eliminating miles of ugly new transmission lines, and ensuring cleaner, healthier lives.
Cities are the crucible of civilization.
As a rule, our largest cities are the worst governed.
I want my work to influence public conversation, to turn heads, and to bear witness to this problem that’s raging in our cities. If journalism helps me with that, I’ll draw on journalism… and I’m not going to worry too much if academics get troubled over that distinction.
Nature made the fields and man the cities.
In cities, people go to work and all walk there together, like some arterial flow. And there’s a certain desolation about it, an alienation that we all experience.
One thing that people outside Chicago need to understand is that the city is not just one thing. It is one city, but it is huge and sprawling. And historically, it has been one of America’s most segregated cities.
I have for some time urged that a nuclear abolition summit to mark the effective end of the nuclear era be convened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the 70th anniversary of the bombings of those cities, with the participation of national leaders and representatives of global civil society.
