...the true issue...

“The true issue is not to make beautiful cities or well-managed cities, is to make a work of life. The rest is a by-product. But, making a work o f life is the privilege of historical action. How and through what struggles, in the course of what class action and what political battle could urban historical action be reborn? This is the question toward which we are inevitably carried by our inquiry into the meaning of the city.”

 Raymond Ledrut, “Speech and the Silence of the City”
