So that regeneration of life, which falls on the shoulders of women, must have something to do with urban regeneration because the two must change in their patterns and can only change in parallel." Marie Moïse **Lecturer at Stanford University of Florence** \[2022 edition\] > "If the city wants to make space for places, it must put care at the centre, and care is fundamentally about relationship." Nicola Capone **Political philosopher** \[2022 edition\] > "The act of playing 3d in a city is very important and I think that's something that can be created in the design of public space. It can be brought in a way that people can be free to play the way they want more than telling them what they're supposed to be doing."
