Great cities are telling stories that we can see. We've got to be able to see your story.

Great cities also cast a compelling vision of the future. We don't just get stuck in the past; we preserve that and cherish it. Great cities are telling stories of hope in the future.

Don't you love that when you're in a city? When you can read the old and the new all together in the same area in the same street. That's context. That's the story of the city playing out right in front of you. . . . We gotta hold onto the old.

Great cities tell true stories.

Cities and the stories they tell need to be about you and your unique role; you and your individuality. We need cities with people who are living out their uniqueness.

Cities are stories that go on and on and we all get to play a part of these stories.
