Summary

This quote highlights the fundamental difference in the way one experiences a city building versus a suburban building. It suggests that when one walks through a city building, they have a more immersive and intimate experience, being up close and personal with the surroundings and the energy of the city. On the other hand, when one drives through a suburban building, the experience is more detached and surface-level, as they observe the environment from a distance behind the wheel of a vehicle. The quote emphasizes the distinct ways in which urban and suburban spaces are encountered and engaged with.
