[edit] Questionable paragraph.

I removed this from the article and bring it here for comment:

His plans for the new urbanism were formulated in 1953. The city is boring, everybody is bored, humor has died, city-poëtry is going down, stories and sages are being pushed away by socio-economical policy reports and citylive is making room for repeating protocols. Chtcheglov pleaded for an architecture of ambience. He visualised neighborhoods of luck, streets of tragedy, historical blocks, a city block of the dead, a neighborhood of misery, a scary alley, and so on. City blocks with positive or negative radiation should follow each other up so that every sense of urbanites would be activated, and they would be able to learn how they would want to live, think, feel and create. The city would become a center of discoveries and adventures- it would make life pleasurable, sexy, interesting and exciting.

Now, while this may be a fairly accurate distillation of Chtcheglov's argument in Formulary for a New Urbanism, it is unreferenced and the tone is unencyclopaedic. And, as an original summation, it amounts to original research. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 19:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
