A："Both space and time were once conceived,organized,regulated,and designed using the familiar principle of zoning. Each zone was organized by specific standards,density,and building type,and arranged, as we have seen ,"in a line"with other functionally distinct zones so as to optimize general productivity. A concept of space was naturally associated with one of time. You work during these hous and in these places; you are entertained during these hours and in these places;you are entertained during these hours and in these places;you sleep here and rest here.But in the context just described, the idea of zoning and functional homogeneity loses its central place. In fact, exactly the opposite becomes true because the information city tends to regroup,combine,superimpose, and interweave function."Questa citazione è tratta dal capitolo 3.3 "Anti-Zoning versus Zoning" a pagina 36 del libro. I capitoli da 3.3 a 3.6 hanno anche scritto sulla riorganizzazione delle funzioni spaziali e degli spazi pubblici urbani composti che sostituiscono costantemente i modelli di progettazione tradizionali.
