Introduction of the Death and Life of Great American Cites.
This part of the book basically narrowed down ways, conditions and importance of how people should plan or learn to plan our city in the correct directions. From many places we could tell author's main point.
(pg. 16)"...I hope these faults will be quickly corrected. The point is, we need desperately to learn and to apply much knowledge that is true and useful about cities as fast as possible."
The author informed us here that everybody is involving in the city planning; we all need to learn things and give them all to the city for building a better home for all of us.
(Pg. 14)"The look of things and the way they work are inextricably bound together, and in no place more so than cities. But people who are interested only in how a city "ought" to look and un-interested in how it works will be disappointed by this book"
We could clearly see author's main idea about this book from this part of reading. In now days, modern people most likely take for granted of always choosing those things only have a pretty outfit. And never really consider about whether the thing will work or not. After we found out the truth, it is already too late.
So, in the introduction of this book, the author tries to warn people about the importance of city planning in many different ways and aspects. And I am sure we will see lots Inadequate and shortcomings about our luxury New York City in the near future by reading this book.
