PPS has a nice page on this famed urbanist at <a href="http://www.pps.org/reference/wwhyte/">http://www.pps.org/reference/wwhyte/</a&gt; including a collection of quotations (my favourite below).</div><div><br></div><div>His recognition of the importance of having a diversity of activities reminds my of Jane Jacobs’ writing about different flows of people (young/old, workers/parents/joggers etc…) occupying a public park at their own special times of day, making it a permanently inhabited space. Have you read The Death and Life of Great American Cities? I read it while living in SanDiego for a few weeks in 2009 and found it tremendously moving. Seeing the different flows of people travelling to Petco Park, out shopping, rushing to and from work, or cruising the GasLamp, as well as the tidal movements of the homeless, brought the idea to life.</div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes – Les</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, arial; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 24px; ">???We are not hapless beings caught in the grip of forces we can do little about, and wholesale damnations of our society only lend a further mystique to organization.

CMPC does deserve credit for partnering with PPS, and recognizing the validity of their research, which is based on the studies of William H. Whyte.</div> <div><br></div><div>Erik<br><br></div>
