About This Quote
Cities are more than the sum of their infrastructure. They transcend brick and mortar, concrete and steel. They're the vessels into which human knowledge is poured. Cities are the places where we work, play, socialize and learn.
They are where our dreams come to life. They are the centers of commerce, culture and art. People flock to cities not only for jobs but also for intellectual stimulation.
