Urban Development Act

Famous quotes containing the words urban, development and/or act:

“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

“The American has dwindled into an Odd Fellow—one who may be known by the development of his organ of gregariousness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Each act of criticism is general
But, in cutting itself off from all the others,
Explicit enough.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
