Cities and cars.
Some fun facts:
Cars are deadlier than firearms. In the US about 43,000 people die from car collisions each year, compared to 30,000 gun-related deaths.
The road network takes up as much as 35% of available space in North American metropolitan regions, compared to 20 persent in older European cities and 10 - 15% in Asian cities.

Cities as body.
The city as a body with organs. People moving into the city as connecting - plugging themselves into that body.
Care - Nurturance:
People who don't feel a sense of agency or involvement in their place - as those not taking care of their bodies.
Post-war flight into the suburbs as cancer.
We love what we nurture, we nurture what we love.
To foster responsible, accountable and connected attitude toward place, people must embed themselves in their location and nurture the spaces around us socially and spatially. - As indigenous communities or attitudes held by Europeans toward maintaining their cities.
Cars as anti-social behavior: only time they communicate is though a cry when the are in each other's way. - a dysfunctional organism.
Public health as a function of urban planning/architecture?
