LIVING IN CITIES IS AN ART, AND

WE NEED THE VOCABULARY OF ART,

OF STYLE, TO DESCRIBE THE PACU�

LIAR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAN

AND MATERIAL THAT EXISTS IN

THE CONTINUAL CREATIVE PLAY OF

URBAN LIVING. THE CITY AS WE

IMAGINE IT, THEN, SOFT CITY OF

ILLUSION, OF MYTH, OF ASPIRATION,

AND NIGHTMARE, IS AS REAL, AND

MAYBE EVEN MORE REAL, THAN

THE HARD CITY ONE CAN LOCATE

ON MAPS AND IN STATISTICS, IN

MONOGRAPHS ON URBAN SOCIOLOGY

AND DEMOGRAPHY AND ARCHITEC�

TURE.
