"The issue of place, like conservation and pollution in the 1960s, is not a new idea at all. But it is an idea poised to explode onto the public consciousness in ways that help transform debates about a whole range of issues. Anyone joining this burgeoning movement to improve public places discovers the key issue is not urban planning or transportation priorities but love. Places we love become places that we hang out."
