This book is wonderful, I'm only half way through an have two pages of quotes applicable to our project. Just to whet your appetites:
"Successful and contented cities depend on promoting activity."
"Safety is better guaranteed by the presence of other people."
"...greater tolerance of difference involving all members of society, rather than conveniently conveniently pretending some don't matter, or simply matter less."
"Humans are social animals and get an enormous amount from the conviviality of city life."
"In post-war modernist planning, aesthetics have triumphed over ethics. It is time to bring the two together again."
"What makes public space is use." (Not ownership)
See you in the morning
