“look up, the sky’s awake, the sun is shining
the gloom and the haze have both burned away by morning
oh LA, what’s written in sand, your cities and plans
the ocean will erase”

Adventures first! Explanations take such a dreadful time.

Lewis Carroll

I want a city where my profession contributes… Where city planning is a war of liberation fought against dumb, featureless public space as well as against the multiple sources of oppression and domination and exploitation and violence; where citizens wrest from space new possibilities, and immerse themselves in their cultures while respecting those of their neighbors, and collectively forging new hybrid cultures and spaces.
