David Krakauer: "Do you have a favorite model or metaphor for #time?"
@JamesGleick: "You've already mentioned a river; that's everybody's favorite. Borges said time is a tiger. People talk about it as a thread. We ONLY talk about time in metaphors."

Adapting streets to a "six-foot-city" is certainly a question of geometry & space, but also how to govern that space, how to develop capacity to deliver #humanscale networks.

The taller the building, the wider the street, the less chance there is of a community forming. Alienation, loss of purpose, misery, follows. If we want cities that gives humans a chance, we need to build for the #HumanScale: low buildings, streets for pedestrians. #Beijing
Cities built to the #HumanScale naturally attracts tourists. No matter how messy they look. Clothes hanging out to dry is an indicator of a healthy neighborhood: the street belongs to the people living there. #Hanoi
Streets can be #HumanScaled and beautiful and necessary, but they are still a bit like "corridors". The best "streets" are the ones that double as places: squares, markets, nooks to rest and hang out. To meet friends and gawk at strangers. #Prague
