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?
