Perhaps the key point (for those who want to skip the long, boring passages and get to the parts people they trust, like me, decide are important) is: "Large historic cities, though, face different challenges. They must grow and renew themselves if they are to avoid resembling theme parks. But they should be wary of obliterating their pasts. How this balance is achieved depends principally on the vision of urban planners, yet in the end what the public lives with is architecture. And architects, Mr. Ferguson believes, cannot escape responsibility." Al Krigman (Left of Ivan Groznyj)
