  • Aristotle said: "Men come together in cities in order to live,
  • but they remain together in order to live the good life."
  • It is harder and harder to live the good life in American cities today.
  • The catalog of ills is long: there is the decay of the centers and the despoiling of the suburbs.
  • There is not enough housing for our people or transportation for our traffic.
  • Open land is vanishing and old landmarks are violated.
  • Worst of all expansion is eroding these precious and time honored values of community with neighbors and communion with nature.
  • The loss of these values breeds loneliness and boredom and indifference.
  • And our society will never be great until our cities are great.
  • Today the frontier of imagination and innovation is inside those cities and not beyond their borders.
  • New experiments are already going on.
  • It will be the task of your generation to make the American city a place where future generations will come,
  • not only to live, but to live the good life.
  • And I understand that if I stayed here tonight I would see that Michigan students are really doing their best to live the good life.
