Faces of the City; Warnett Kennedy

i rebid appeared this basis of the city to sit in seattle washington usa vancouver british columbia canada each on the far western an enormous countries equally blessed because the beauty of their natural settings western there's even say had sense enough to do two things at once provide for the needs of the city well protected the magnificent gift idea that one that kennedy architects and planners in vancouver thanks in visionary terms about solutions to this dilemma as you discover their strong opinions on a wide variety of subjects i often cha my friends by saying that it might have a catalyst the lead boat a baby with a glad cry a rush to the wind coats the highway it's raining in condition myself to do this haven't been brought up in scotland but what i think the point i'd really like to make is that a secret to happiness is it at one of the secrets to happiness is to be a

meaningful and never have to doping of a purpose who arrive each morning as you get up and you have this sense of anticipation of a job to do you want to get it at any one of the toys that i think it is due to my mind is more than half the secret of happiness they have a youngster i can remember thinking a promising myself to do all kinds of splendid things before i die and eight if i have any of the settlements it's because so many of them would never fulfilled i don't do you worry about age this kind of idealism is ageless i said we don't pry it nor i think the idea that women subject for creators what i do wishful thinking and it wishful thinking i suppose there's a great poet today i can remember enough of the bible to revamp of the freeze off the definition of faith that faith is the substance of

things hot author i was told as a kid if you do what you did meet each other what the work ethic she would go up and i was brought up in it i've come into the conclusion that what's wrong with our society is that we have lost their work ethic and enjoy what is a funny thing to say but if you take the whole of the younger generation to be an unsettling quality a hold of this what would go on much for saying it wouldn't be much different than western society he doesn't really need people and science of my generation that doesn't surprise me a bit that they've prevailed against the circumstance they find them in no in the course of the world as they have adopted a lifestyle a guy and his guests i think a chap a meaningless a we had a toilet training and my time you know in a politically spark a we took pride in my nose in there and the two

conformist liam absolutely is prine material for george orwell's nineteen eighty four i think generally speaking if you look at the political spectrum those who are tending to the left came to take an anti american stance but i don't honestly think that the people of vancouver of any political party not hostile to see the people of seattle he of course you know that i'm fond of seattle in a different kind of weight the northwest is god's own playground and its a seattle area has spoiled itself by its very necessary traffic diversion and look across the hillside and i see a great gash of concrete that if you're traveling on that day you're delighted that you can oh you're way across the tools they can pass the center of the city but because it's on a hillside all that touch a concrete walls in when we dig safe country it looks like a

stage set for the shape of things to come and i can't forgive you for what you've done with your waterfront area the present alaska way that runs along the waterfront must have been a traffic engineer you know the underside of that freeway get the daily average is disgusting i have it makes it invisible have it makes it inevitable and some people who shouldn't have it i love to get to like it but we were the vigilantes who realize that love lee that waterfront could be i think you lost and pepper charity initiative had no advanced doctoral if by faith

people who believe that you can't really design cities of habitable places that unless you love them i would say that if you're the type who likes to flee the city of the night and get into that much research into the suburbs and then i don't think you should because i mean cities usually designing sort of pops it is my belief that one of the secrets of a happy my life just as it means of communication to to live with the person that you want to communicate with that you want to kill each other of your secrets or what happened to that the disappearing this ability to keep secret optimistic without it i don't quite know how you do it early in the right keys and one of the happy man my wife and i have great fun to go bubble we happily at each other day she's welsh and she takes me to you will squyres i get motivated by taking out the wake of the concepts and says one of the dt things in

life isn't it a flame a competitive person and separately with beautiful wife of any live until it's not what's in those fifteen hundred in the sense of the way he says the city is full of the safety and convenience and it's a surprise in the latest changes and that's what it is to me that we're living in the same big universe has no part of it however microscopically and smallest of avastin the sky automated message to evidence of design i don't quite know what makes us sometimes the two of us come from the strangest place they come from the slums of cities you got to get

at one point in my life and i had a place on the water's edge are even hotter younger he my life my heightened in a kilt you know we did that in the eighties and at the weekend's world characteristic be given over to hike across the hills are roadblocks and going over these girls a year going over tough on rock outcroppings the tough underfoot it's light sponge rubber it's beautiful it's marcy kind of tough at the home of the insights into some of these something old member silent playing with this one oh nice namely

in the core areas of cities at that no reason why there shouldn't be i'd say i don't take the view that people love and highlighted must all be high you know it's nonsense that there are many people and i'm one of them who have live on the seventeenth of the twentieth story of a high rise of residential block and i find it delightful it in the movie to try to get elected of the last election and of course a complete flip of faith i didn't get in there with that team of tenth grade but an idealist with a platform with papa says has to find an effective form to do something but didn't crush me in any way because they i love it because if they believe in and most cause he's there and it was pleasing the last caucuses i realized that i'd seen facets of the city of vancouver that would never have come to my intelligence was introduced to ethnic

groups an ethnic dispute it's the people of other ways he's only come i accidentally into my life is never buy conscious intentional don't want to be meeting people come to my meetings that belonged to vancouver complete media business men's club and i suppose you'd call it the facetious when the tycoons club and i was in glasgow i was a socialist a note i mean describe the great make conservative and i think it was winston churchill who said that if you're not a socialist of the young men you know hot and if you're still a socialist is an old mine but no hate you come out to the view that a lot of movie the good things in life and they did in the past i'm going to do new things in the future things and a few chickens but so many of the things that they're going to be and you are not human toll may i mention one that for

instance the work ethic know no one's going to tell me what the state of my life anything news necessarily good those who will not learn from the pasta fated to relive it had astonishing thing about stamping it was in a sense a dream come true if an american pharoah was the man who said every city should have won eight page and move this follows linguistic is broken for fuel and little did he think thirty seven years later he said it would have been a whale very fast motion which offered to be for city council was to petition that the federal government has set aside one thousand acres which we know louis d'amico why because the eye could see nothing that follows in all directions somebody had set
