‘If your goal is to build a great city, it’s not enough to have a single use dominate a particular place — you need an array of activities for people. It’s not enough to have just one great place in a neighborhood — you need a number of them to create a truly lively community. It’s not enough to have one great neighborhood in a city — you need to provide people all over town with close-to-home opportunities to take pleasure in public life. And it’s not enough to have one livable city or town in a region — you need a collection of interesting communities.’ (https://www.pps.org/reference/poweroften/ )
