Urban Development and Communities

"The city represents a continuum, a continuous quantity. It is also a collective artifact in which man is dominant and surrounded by man-made buildings, man-made traffic and service arteries, man-made art, and man-controlled landscape.

As a viable man-made agglomeration reflecting many activities, the city has to present a well-defined structure that unites its parts into a whole, preferably a whole that is something more then the sum of its parts. Ideally, the city is the arena of interspecific associations where different functions thrive side by side in a common area, and draw upon a common pool of resources. In this urban setting person to person relationships predominate among the interactions between individuals and nature" (cac73006004, "A Brief on Urban Development").
