TO BE REBORN, THE DEATH AND LIFE OF GREAT AMERICAN CITIES?

City planning or the American way of it was thought to be an attack on the current city planning by Jane Jacobs. It is believe to be inadequate to be a safe or beneficial for city to improve or move forward. To be spending a fortune and to not reap anything from it seemed harmful. It is a test lab full of trial and error, to many roles and personnel need to be taken into account to create and be considered.

City planning is important and vital to keep a nation, a society together. Many have conceptual idealism of plans that tweaks and plays with the formation of city planning. Centralized system is usually commonly agreed by logic. I believe strongly in community communication and equal grounds of ideas. Therefore a centralized space can be a great way to ensure a thoroughly connected village. It would be the most fair and equal distant for the majority to be gathered or commuted into the same circle of area.

America, the land of Freedom, a playful ground for dreams to be build and explore into reality. No way of city planning can be perfect for all, but it all can be perfect individually with the right context. At least close to a temporary perfect.

I believe through many trials and attempts things would get better with actions taken:

“In order to rise
From its own ashes
A phoenix First Must Burn.” 
— Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents
