Summary

This quote emphasizes that the true measure of a city's greatness is not its physical size, but rather its ambition and aspirations. It suggests that the vision of a city, and its ability to imagine and pursue bigger dreams, is what truly distinguishes it. While the dimensions of a city may be important, they are secondary when compared to the breadth of its vision and the heights it strives to reach. This quote implies that a city's progress and significance should not be limited by physical constraints, but rather driven by the limitless potential of its dreams.
