'John Brinckerhoff "Brinck"
Jackson's experiences in college were influential in his approach to the shaping of the landscape. He attended the Experimental College of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Jackson gained an insight into architecture and planning from the social criticism of Lewis Mumford and Oswald Spengler's revelation in Decline of the West that "landscapes reflected the culture of the people that were living there." In 1938, his novel, titled Saints in Summertime, was published. The book revealed the infiltration of Nazism and the soldiers' attraction to energy emanating from power. Military service
After briefly trying his hand at ranching in New Mexico, Jackson enlisted in the army, in 1940. As an officer during war, he studied books to gain insight on the geography of the location. He deciphered code, studied maps, and learned the terrain. He read books by French geographers—Pierre Deffontaines, Paul Vidal de la Blache, and Albert Demangeon. He was a part of the Ritchie Boys and his language skills were used to serve the United States Army in understanding issues on the European front. It was at this time that he developed his interpretation that the shaping and devastation of the landscape came from the necessities for human existence. Jackson believed that human history brought about human geography. The landscape was the product of humankind's effort to "recreate heaven on earth". As the war ended, Jackson began to contemplate publishing a magazine of geography. Landscape magazine
In the spring of 1951, he published the first issue of Landscape, with the subtitle "Human Geography of the Southwest;" this was later dropped. Jackson served as the magazine's publisher and editor until 1968. At first, Jackson argued, quite literally, for a lofty – an airborne – view of the world, reveling in the perspective of aerial photographs. But Jackson's work, which dominated the first five issues of the magazine, was grounded in what he would later call the vernacular: an interest in the commonplace or everyday landscape. Jackson expressed an innate confidence in the ability of people of small means to make significant changes in their surroundings. In an opening essay, The Need of Being Versed in Country Things, Jackson states that "It is from the air that the true relationship between the natural and the human landscape is first clearly revealed. The peaks and canyons lose much of their impressiveness when seen from above. What catches our eye and arouses our interest is not the sandy washes and the naked rocks, but the evidences of man." His writings allowed him to raise questions and present controversial statements especially in reference to humans and their role in shaping the landscape. Jackson's collected essays have been published in seven books, in addition to A Sense of Place, a Sense of Time, which won the 1995 PEN prize for essays. Teaching
Jackson was influential in the lives of many students, colleagues, admirers, and friends. He taught landscape history courses as adjunct professor at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design beginning in 1969 and at the College of Environmental Design and the Department of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley. He ended teaching classes in the late 1970s. Since then he has given lectures, especially on themes pertaining to urban issues. Jackson states that "We are not spectators; all human landscape is not a work of art." He felt strongly that the purpose of landscape is to provide a place for living and working and leisure. The Association of American Geographers established a Jackson Prize, to "reward American geographers who write books about the United States which convey the insights of professional geography in language that is interesting and attractive to a lay audience." Cultural Landscapes Studies
As a scholar, historian and writer, John B. Jackson greatly influenced the development and trajectory of contemporary cultural landscape studies in America.</blockquote>
The history of landscape study and, more broadly, place and regional studies, illustrates the convergences with some of the histories here, both across discipline and nation. In the United States a popular fascination with vibrant architecture, communities, and landscapes of everyday America has been expressed by writers ranging from Walt Whitman to Mark Twain, and by painter Winslow Homer through early twentieth artists of common landscapes. The New Deal writers and painters explored a strong regionalist theme, which was also connected to the architectural and urban criticism of Lewis Mumford. The concern for environmental degradation caused by human activities was another American theme, spurred particularly by the Vermont writer George Perkins Marsh. Comparison of American trends to cultural landscape studies in other places is illuminating. Wilson and Groth write that German cultural landscape studies were primarily based on scientific categorizations of regions and settlements, with strong cross disciplinary ties to geology and economic analysis. Historical accounts of landscape influenced British cultural studies, but the study of cultural landscapes also was strongly based on field observation and map interpretations. In France, the emphasis on unique culture and geography shaped the field, especially in ideas of genre de vie (ways of life) and pays (social regions), ideas that have had particular resonance in American landscape studies. "By World War II," the editors remark, "each French region had its own well written guidebooks to local physical and social landscapes" (4). Geographer Carl Sauer, who had studied in Germany and had long tenure as the chair of the Geography department at Berkeley, in 1925 wrote the now classic definition of a cultural landscape: "The cultural landscape is fashioned from the natural landscape by a cultural group. Culture is the agent, the natural area is the medium, and cultural landscape is the result." Personal life
During the height of his career, Jackson lived just southwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico, near an historic property known as El Rancho de las Golondrinas (The Ranch of the Swallows). Jackson died on August 29, 1996, at St. Vincent Hospital in Santa Fe. He was 86 and lived in La Cienega, New Mexico. Awards and honors
John Brinckerhoff Jackson received the PEN/Diamonstein Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay for A Sense of Place, a Sense of Time in 1995. J. B. Jackson received the Silver Star for exemplary service in WWII. Published works

Опыт Джексона, полученный в колледже, оказал значительное влияние на его подход к формированию ландшафта. Он учился в Экспериментальном колледже Университета Висконсин-Мэдисон. Джексон получил представление об архитектуре и планировании благодаря социальной критике Льюиса Мамфорда и откровению Освальда Шпенглера в книге «Закат Европы» о том, что «ландшафты отражают культуру людей, которые там живут». В 1938 году был опубликован его роман «Святые в летнее время». Книга раскрывала проникновение нацизма и притяжение солдат к энергии, исходящей от власти. Военная служба

После недолгого опыта работы фермером в Нью-Мексико, Джексон поступил в армию в 1940 году. Будучи офицером во время войны, он изучал книги, чтобы получить представление о географии местности. Он расшифровывал коды, изучал карты и осваивал рельеф. Он читал книги французских географов – Пьера Дефонтейна, Пола Видаля де ла Блаша и Альберта Деманжона. Он был частью Ritchie Boys, и его лингвистические навыки использовались для помощи армии США в понимании ситуации на европейском фронте. Именно тогда он выработал свое понимание того, что формирование и разрушение ландшафта проистекают из потребностей человеческого существования. Джексон верил, что человеческая история порождает человеческую географию. Ландшафт был результатом усилий человечества «воссоздать рай на земле». С окончанием войны Джексон задумался о публикации журнала, посвященного географии. Журнал «Ландшафт»

After briefly trying his hand at ranching in New Mexico, Jackson enlisted in the army, in 1940. As an officer during war, he studied books to gain insight on the geography of the location. He deciphered code, studied maps, and learned the terrain. He read books by French geographers—Pierre Deffontaines, Paul Vidal de la Blache, and Albert Demangeon. He was a part of the Ritchie Boys and his language skills were used to serve the United States Army in understanding issues on the European front. It was at this time that he developed his interpretation that the shaping and devastation of the landscape came from the necessities for human existence. Jackson believed that human history brought about human geography. The landscape was the product of humankind's effort to "recreate heaven on earth". As the war ended, Jackson began to contemplate publishing a magazine of geography. Landscape magazine
In the spring of 1951, he published the first issue of Landscape, with the subtitle "Human Geography of the Southwest;" this was later dropped. Jackson served as the magazine's publisher and editor until 1968. At first, Jackson argued, quite literally, for a lofty – an airborne – view of the world, reveling in the perspective of aerial photographs. But Jackson's work, which dominated the first five issues of the magazine, was grounded in what he would later call the vernacular: an interest in the commonplace or everyday landscape. Jackson expressed an innate confidence in the ability of people of small means to make significant changes in their surroundings. In an opening essay, The Need of Being Versed in Country Things, Jackson states that "It is from the air that the true relationship between the natural and the human landscape is first clearly revealed. The peaks and canyons lose much of their impressiveness when seen from above. What catches our eye and arouses our interest is not the sandy washes and the naked rocks, but the evidences of man." His writings allowed him to raise questions and present controversial statements especially in reference to humans and their role in shaping the landscape. Jackson's collected essays have been published in seven books, in addition to A Sense of Place, a Sense of Time, which won the 1995 PEN prize for essays. Teaching
Jackson was influential in the lives of many students, colleagues, admirers, and friends. He taught landscape history courses as adjunct professor at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design beginning in 1969 and at the College of Environmental Design and the Department of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley. He ended teaching classes in the late 1970s. Since then he has given lectures, especially on themes pertaining to urban issues. Jackson states that "We are not spectators; all human landscape is not a work of art." He felt strongly that the purpose of landscape is to provide a place for living and working and leisure. The Association of American Geographers established a Jackson Prize, to "reward American geographers who write books about the United States which convey the insights of professional geography in language that is interesting and attractive to a lay audience." Cultural Landscapes Studies
As a scholar, historian and writer, John B. Jackson greatly influenced the development and trajectory of contemporary cultural landscape studies in America.</blockquote>
The history of landscape study and, more broadly, place and regional studies, illustrates the convergences with some of the histories here, both across discipline and nation. In the United States a popular fascination with vibrant architecture, communities, and landscapes of everyday America has been expressed by writers ranging from Walt Whitman to Mark Twain, and by painter Winslow Homer through early twentieth artists of common landscapes. The New Deal writers and painters explored a strong regionalist theme, which was also connected to the architectural and urban criticism of Lewis Mumford. The concern for environmental degradation caused by human activities was another American theme, spurred particularly by the Vermont writer George Perkins Marsh. Comparison of American trends to cultural landscape studies in other places is illuminating. Wilson and Groth write that German cultural landscape studies were primarily based on scientific categorizations of regions and settlements, with strong cross disciplinary ties to geology and economic analysis. Historical accounts of landscape influenced British cultural studies, but the study of cultural landscapes also was strongly based on field observation and map interpretations. In France, the emphasis on unique culture and geography shaped the field, especially in ideas of genre de vie (ways of life) and pays (social regions), ideas that have had particular resonance in American landscape studies. "By World War II," the editors remark, "each French region had its own well written guidebooks to local physical and social landscapes" (4). Geographer Carl Sauer, who had studied in Germany and had long tenure as the chair of the Geography department at Berkeley, in 1925 wrote the now classic definition of a cultural landscape: "The cultural landscape is fashioned from the natural landscape by a cultural group. Culture is the agent, the natural area is the medium, and cultural landscape is the result." Personal life
During the height of his career, Jackson lived just southwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico, near an historic property known as El Rancho de las Golondrinas (The Ranch of the Swallows). Jackson died on August 29, 1996, at St. Vincent Hospital in Santa Fe. He was 86 and lived in La Cienega, New Mexico. Awards and honors

Весной 1951 года он опубликовал первый номер журнала «Ландшафт» с подзаголовком «Гуманитарная география Юго-Запада», который позже был отменен. Джексон был издателем и редактором журнала до 1968 года. Поначалу Джексон, в буквальном смысле, выступал за возвышенный – воздушный – взгляд на мир, наслаждаясь перспективой аэрофотоснимков. Но работа Джексона, которая доминировала в первых пяти выпусках журнала, была основана на том, что он позже назвал «народным»: интересе к обыденному или повседневному ландшафту. Джексон выражал непоколебимую уверенность в способности людей со скромными средствами вносить значительные изменения в окружающую среду. В вводном эссе «Необходимость разбираться в вещах сельских» Джексон утверждает, что «именно с воздуха впервые отчетливо раскрывается истинная связь между природным и человеческим ландшафтом. Вершины и каньоны теряют большую часть своей впечатляемости при взгляде сверху. Наше внимание и интерес привлекают не песчаные овраги и обнаженные скалы, а следы человеческой деятельности». Его труды позволяли ему поднимать вопросы и выдвигать спорные утверждения, особенно в отношении людей и их роли в формировании ландшафта. Собрание эссе Джексона было опубликовано в семи книгах, в дополнение к «Чувство места, чувство времени», которое получило премию PEN 1995 года за эссе. Преподавание

Он прекратил преподавать в конце 1970-х годов. С тех пор он читал лекции, особенно на темы, касающиеся городских проблем. Джексон утверждает, что «мы не зрители; не каждый человеческий ландшафт является произведением искусства». Он твердо верил, что назначение ландшафта – предоставить место для жизни, работы и отдыха. Ассоциация американских географов учредила премию имени Джексона, чтобы «награждать американских географов, которые пишут книги о Соединенных Штатах, передающие понимание профессиональной географии на языке, интересном и привлекательном для широкой аудитории».

История изучения ландшафта и, в более широком смысле, исследований места и региона иллюстрирует точки соприкосновения с некоторыми из этих историй, как в рамках дисциплины, так и на национальном уровне. В Соединенных Штатах популярный интерес к яркой архитектуре, общинам и ландшафтам повседневной Америки выражали писатели от Уолта Уитмена до Марка Твена и художник Уинслоу Гомер, а также художники начала двадцатого века, изображавшие обыденные ландшафты. Писатели и художники времен «Нового курса» исследовали сильную регионалистскую тему, которая также была связана с архитектурной и градостроительной критикой Льюиса Мамфорда. Беспокойство по поводу деградации окружающей среды, вызванной человеческой деятельностью, было еще одной американской темой, вызванной, в частности, писателем из Вермонта Джорджем Перкинсом Маршем. Сравнение американских тенденций с исследованиями культурных ландшафтов в других местах является поучительным. Уилсон и Грот пишут, что немецкие исследования культурных ландшафтов были основаны главным образом на научных классификациях регионов и поселений, с тесной межотраслевой связью с геологией и экономическим анализом. Исторические отчеты о ландшафте повлияли на британские культурные исследования, но изучение культурных ландшафтов также было основано на полевых наблюдениях и интерпретации карт. Во Франции акцент на уникальной культуре и географии сформировал эту область, особенно в идеях о «жанре де ви» (образе жизни) и «пэ» (социальных регионах), которые нашли особый отклик в американских исследованиях ландшафта. «К Второй мировой войне», – отмечают редакторы, – «каждый французский регион имел свои хорошо написанные путеводители по местным физическим и социальным ландшафтам» (4). Географ Карл Зауэр, который учился в Германии и долгое время был председателем кафедры географии в Беркли, в 1925 году написал теперь уже классическое определение культурного ландшафта: «Культурный ландшафт формируется из природного ландшафта культурной группой. Культура является агентом, природная область – средой, а культурный ландшафт – результатом». Личная жизнь

'John Brinckerhoff "Brinck"
Jackson's experiences in college were influential in his approach to the shaping of the landscape. He attended the Experimental College of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Jackson gained an insight into architecture and planning from the social criticism of Lewis Mumford and Oswald Spengler's revelation in Decline of the West that "landscapes reflected the culture of the people that were living there." In 1938, his novel, titled Saints in Summertime, was published. The book revealed the infiltration of Nazism and the soldiers' attraction to energy emanating from power. Military service
After briefly trying his hand at ranching in New Mexico, Jackson enlisted in the army, in 1940. As an officer during war, he studied books to gain insight on the geography of the location. He deciphered code, studied maps, and learned the terrain. He read books by French geographers—Pierre Deffontaines, Paul Vidal de la Blache, and Albert Demangeon. He was a part of the Ritchie Boys and his language skills were used to serve the United States Army in understanding issues on the European front. It was at this time that he developed his interpretation that the shaping and devastation of the landscape came from the necessities for human existence. Jackson believed that human history brought about human geography. The landscape was the product of humankind's effort to "recreate heaven on earth". As the war ended, Jackson began to contemplate publishing a magazine of geography. Landscape magazine
In the spring of 1951, he published the first issue of Landscape, with the subtitle "Human Geography of the Southwest;" this was later dropped. Jackson served as the magazine's publisher and editor until 1968. At first, Jackson argued, quite literally, for a lofty – an airborne – view of the world, reveling in the perspective of aerial photographs. But Jackson's work, which dominated the first five issues of the magazine, was grounded in what he would later call the vernacular: an interest in the commonplace or everyday landscape. Jackson expressed an innate confidence in the ability of people of small means to make significant changes in their surroundings. In an opening essay, The Need of Being Versed in Country Things, Jackson states that "It is from the air that the true relationship between the natural and the human landscape is first clearly revealed. The peaks and canyons lose much of their impressiveness when seen from above. What catches our eye and arouses our interest is not the sandy washes and the naked rocks, but the evidences of man." His writings allowed him to raise questions and present controversial statements especially in reference to humans and their role in shaping the landscape. Jackson's collected essays have been published in seven books, in addition to A Sense of Place, a Sense of Time, which won the 1995 PEN prize for essays. Teaching
Jackson was influential in the lives of many students, colleagues, admirers, and friends. He taught landscape history courses as adjunct professor at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design beginning in 1969 and at the College of Environmental Design and the Department of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley. He ended teaching classes in the late 1970s. Since then he has given lectures, especially on themes pertaining to urban issues. Jackson states that "We are not spectators; all human landscape is not a work of art." He felt strongly that the purpose of landscape is to provide a place for living and working and leisure. The Association of American Geographers established a Jackson Prize, to "reward American geographers who write books about the United States which convey the insights of professional geography in language that is interesting and attractive to a lay audience." Cultural Landscapes Studies
As a scholar, historian and writer, John B. Jackson greatly influenced the development and trajectory of contemporary cultural landscape studies in America.</blockquote>
The history of landscape study and, more broadly, place and regional studies, illustrates the convergences with some of the histories here, both across discipline and nation. In the United States a popular fascination with vibrant architecture, communities, and landscapes of everyday America has been expressed by writers ranging from Walt Whitman to Mark Twain, and by painter Winslow Homer through early twentieth artists of common landscapes. The New Deal writers and painters explored a strong regionalist theme, which was also connected to the architectural and urban criticism of Lewis Mumford. The concern for environmental degradation caused by human activities was another American theme, spurred particularly by the Vermont writer George Perkins Marsh. Comparison of American trends to cultural landscape studies in other places is illuminating. Wilson and Groth write that German cultural landscape studies were primarily based on scientific categorizations of regions and settlements, with strong cross disciplinary ties to geology and economic analysis. Historical accounts of landscape influenced British cultural studies, but the study of cultural landscapes also was strongly based on field observation and map interpretations. In France, the emphasis on unique culture and geography shaped the field, especially in ideas of genre de vie (ways of life) and pays (social regions), ideas that have had particular resonance in American landscape studies. "By World War II," the editors remark, "each French region had its own well written guidebooks to local physical and social landscapes" (4). Geographer Carl Sauer, who had studied in Germany and had long tenure as the chair of the Geography department at Berkeley, in 1925 wrote the now classic definition of a cultural landscape: "The cultural landscape is fashioned from the natural landscape by a cultural group. Culture is the agent, the natural area is the medium, and cultural landscape is the result." Personal life
During the height of his career, Jackson lived just southwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico, near an historic property known as El Rancho de las Golondrinas (The Ranch of the Swallows). Jackson died on August 29, 1996, at St. Vincent Hospital in Santa Fe. He was 86 and lived in La Cienega, New Mexico. Awards and honors

'John Brinckerhoff "Brinck"
Jackson's experiences in college were influential in his approach to the shaping of the landscape. He attended the Experimental College of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Jackson gained an insight into architecture and planning from the social criticism of Lewis Mumford and Oswald Spengler's revelation in Decline of the West that "landscapes reflected the culture of the people that were living there." In 1938, his novel, titled Saints in Summertime, was published. The book revealed the infiltration of Nazism and the soldiers' attraction to energy emanating from power. Military service
After briefly trying his hand at ranching in New Mexico, Jackson enlisted in the army, in 1940. As an officer during war, he studied books to gain insight on the geography of the location. He deciphered code, studied maps, and learned the terrain. He read books by French geographers—Pierre Deffontaines, Paul Vidal de la Blache, and Albert Demangeon. He was a part of the Ritchie Boys and his language skills were used to serve the United States Army in understanding issues on the European front. It was at this time that he developed his interpretation that the shaping and devastation of the landscape came from the necessities for human existence. Jackson believed that human history brought about human geography. The landscape was the product of humankind's effort to "recreate heaven on earth". As the war ended, Jackson began to contemplate publishing a magazine of geography. Landscape magazine
In the spring of 1951, he published the first issue of Landscape, with the subtitle "Human Geography of the Southwest;" this was later dropped. Jackson served as the magazine's publisher and editor until 1968. At first, Jackson argued, quite literally, for a lofty – an airborne – view of the world, reveling in the perspective of aerial photographs. But Jackson's work, which dominated the first five issues of the magazine, was grounded in what he would later call the vernacular: an interest in the commonplace or everyday landscape. Jackson expressed an innate confidence in the ability of people of small means to make significant changes in their surroundings. In an opening essay, The Need of Being Versed in Country Things, Jackson states that "It is from the air that the true relationship between the natural and the human landscape is first clearly revealed. The peaks and canyons lose much of their impressiveness when seen from above. What catches our eye and arouses our interest is not the sandy washes and the naked rocks, but the evidences of man." His writings allowed him to raise questions and present controversial statements especially in reference to humans and their role in shaping the landscape. Jackson's collected essays have been published in seven books, in addition to A Sense of Place, a Sense of Time, which won the 1995 PEN prize for essays. Teaching
Jackson was influential in the lives of many students, colleagues, admirers, and friends. He taught landscape history courses as adjunct professor at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design beginning in 1969 and at the College of Environmental Design and the Department of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley. He ended teaching classes in the late 1970s. Since then he has given lectures, especially on themes pertaining to urban issues. Jackson states that "We are not spectators; all human landscape is not a work of art." He felt strongly that the purpose of landscape is to provide a place for living and working and leisure. The Association of American Geographers established a Jackson Prize, to "reward American geographers who write books about the United States which convey the insights of professional geography in language that is interesting and attractive to a lay audience." Cultural Landscapes Studies
As a scholar, historian and writer, John B. Jackson greatly influenced the development and trajectory of contemporary cultural landscape studies in America.</blockquote>
The history of landscape study and, more broadly, place and regional studies, illustrates the convergences with some of the histories here, both across discipline and nation. In the United States a popular fascination with vibrant architecture, communities, and landscapes of everyday America has been expressed by writers ranging from Walt Whitman to Mark Twain, and by painter Winslow Homer through early twentieth artists of common landscapes. The New Deal writers and painters explored a strong regionalist theme, which was also connected to the architectural and urban criticism of Lewis Mumford. The concern for environmental degradation caused by human activities was another American theme, spurred particularly by the Vermont writer George Perkins Marsh. Comparison of American trends to cultural landscape studies in other places is illuminating. Wilson and Groth write that German cultural landscape studies were primarily based on scientific categorizations of regions and settlements, with strong cross disciplinary ties to geology and economic analysis. Historical accounts of landscape influenced British cultural studies, but the study of cultural landscapes also was strongly based on field observation and map interpretations. In France, the emphasis on unique culture and geography shaped the field, especially in ideas of genre de vie (ways of life) and pays (social regions), ideas that have had particular resonance in American landscape studies. "By World War II," the editors remark, "each French region had its own well written guidebooks to local physical and social landscapes" (4). Geographer Carl Sauer, who had studied in Germany and had long tenure as the chair of the Geography department at Berkeley, in 1925 wrote the now classic definition of a cultural landscape: "The cultural landscape is fashioned from the natural landscape by a cultural group. Culture is the agent, the natural area is the medium, and cultural landscape is the result." Personal life

Чем старше я становлюсь и чем дольше я смотрю на пейзажи, пытаясь их понять, тем больше я убеждаюсь, что их красота – это не просто аспект, а сама их сущность, и что эта красота происходит от присутствия человека. Давайте надеяться, что достоинства и очарование придорожной полосы не окажутся настолько неочевидными, чтобы не быть принятыми более широкой публикой. Велосипед был и остаётся воплощением человечности, почти классической умеренности в доставляемом удовольствии. Это машина, которую мог бы изобрести и использовать грек эпохи эллинизма. Он не противоречит нашим естественным ощущениям: он не претендует на то, чтобы освободить нас от привычной среды. То, как растёт город и в каком направлении он расширяется, определяется не столько зонированием, деятельностью в сфере недвижимости или ценами на землю, сколько сетью шоссе. Руины побуждают к восстановлению и возвращению к истокам. Необходим период упадка или забвения, прежде чем возможно обновление и преобразование.
"The older I grow and the longer I look at landscapes and seek to understand them, the more convinced I am that their beauty is not simply an aspect but their very essence and that that beauty derives from the human presence." "Let us hope that the merits and charm of the highway strip are not so obscure but they will be accepted by a wider public." "The bicycle had, and still has, a humane, almost classical moderation in the kind of pleasure it offers. It is the kind of machine that a Hellenistic Greek might have invented and ridden. It does no violence to our normal reactions: It does not pretend to free us from our normal environment." "The way a city grows, the direction in which it spreads, is a factor not so much of zoning or real estate activity or land values but of highways." "Ruins provide the incentive for restoration, and for a return to origins. There has to be an interim of death or rejection before there can be renewal and reform."
