The city needs a car like a fish needs a bicycle.

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that in urban environments, cars may not be a necessary mode of transportation, similar to how a fish does not require a bicycle. It suggests that cities can thrive by promoting alternative, sustainable modes of transportation such as walking, cycling, or public transportation, and reducing dependency on cars. The quote carries a message of advocating for the development of more pedestrian-friendly cities, where cars are not the primary means of getting around, ultimately leading to a more environmentally friendly and livable urban landscape.
