    "Cities must trade in cultural cringe for a growing sense of confidence in our distinctiveness. They must try to be somewhere, not anywhere in the extended global sprawl of electronic suburbia.

Cities need to involve their people in making and remaking their own mythology, and create something that is truly unique." Marcus Westbury
