Abstract
When we describe cities, we have a tendency to give them human character traits. It’s a friendly city. A dynamic city. A boring city. Perhaps, then, a city can be arrogant. Arrogant, for example, with its distribution of space.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you.
Jean-Paul Sartre
