I want to introduce this book by paraphrasing Sibyll Moholy – Nagy who, in her seminal book “Matrix of Man”, made the observation that cities behave much like living organisms. They both need to replace themselves cell by cell in order to stay alive. Without this constant renewal, cities behave just like living organisms; they atrophy and ultimately die.
