The city fosters art and is art; the city creates the theater and is the theater.

—Lewis Mumford (1937)

Cities have often been likened to symphonies and poems, and the comparison seems to me a perfectly natural one: they are, in fact, objects of the same kind. The city may even be rated higher, since it stands at the point where Nature and artifice meet. . . . It is both natural object and a thing to be cultivated . . . something lived and something dreamed; it is the human invention, par excellence.

—Claude Lévi-Strauss (1955)
