“The city is the largest physical entity that we, as humans, need, I mean shelter, habitat. That’s not only very, very large in dimension, it’s also very demanding in resources, and naturally it’s always a question of how logistically we can have this habitat so that you can move around, we can reach people physically, and we can combine our energy to develop what we call a civilization.”
