“IN A CITY THE STREET MUST BE SUPREME. IT IS THE FIRST
INSTITUTION OF THE CITY. THE STREET IS A ROOM BY
AGREEMENT, A COMMUNITY ROOM, THE WALLS OF WHICH
BELONG TO THE DONORS, DEDICATED TO THE CITY FOR
COMMON USE. ITS CEILING IS THE SKY. TODAY, STREETS ARE
DISINTERESTED MOVEMENTS BUT YOU HAVE NO STREETS. NOT
AT ALL BELONGING TO THE HOUSES THAT FRONT THEM. SO YOU
HAVE NO STREETS. YOU HAVE ROADS.”
