Cities are a product of time. They are the molds in
which mens lifetimes have cooled and congealed,giving lasting shape, by way of art, to moments that
would otherwise vanish with the living and leave nomeans of renewal or wider participation behindthem. In the city, time becomes visible: buildingsand monuments and public ways, more open thanthe written record, more subject to the gaze ofmany men than the scattered artifacts of thecountryside, leave an imprint upon the minds even
of the ignorant or the indifferent.

the city, as it develops, becomes the center of a
network of communications: the gossip of the wellor the town pump, the talk at the pub or the
washboard, the proclamations of messenger andheralds, the confidences of friends, the rumors ofthe exchange and the market, the guardedintercourse of scholars all these are centralactivities of the city. In this respect the permissivesize of the city partly varies with the velocity andthe effective range of communication.
