Mayors’ Forum on Public-Private Partnerships and 21st Century
Cities
When the burdens of
the presidency seem
unusually heavy, I
always remind myself
it could be worse: I
could be a mayor.
-Lyndon Johnson
A mayor is a symbol
and a public face of
what a city
bureaucracy provides
its citizens.
-John Hickenlooper
The point
of cities is
multiplicity
of choice. -Jane
Jacobs
A great city is
not to be
confounded
with a
populous one.
-Aristotle
A city is a place where there
is no need to wait for next
week to get the answer to a
question, to taste the food of
any country, to find new
voices to listen to and familiar
ones to listen to again.
-Margaret Mead
The price good
men pay for
indifference to
public affairs is to
be ruled by evil
men.
-Plato
If you cannot
communicate your
goals, it is going to
be very hard to
change.
-Jaime Lerner
If we promise as public
officials, we must deliver. If
we as public officials
propose, we must produce.
