Creating Sustainable Cities Through Cultural Placemaking | Sustainable Cities Collective:

"A diverse crowd of people and restaurants offer different kinds of cuisines and have catalyzed this area as a cultural incubator. The ease with which people interact with each other has increased the use of public space much more powerfully than in a suburb."


"Is ‘awesome food’ the reason that the neighborhood can boast of its lively and divergent culture? It’s probably true, who doesn’t like good food? Will people hop on buses, bikes and Segways to stand in line for awesome food? Yes! This is how folks roll in San Francisco. It is quite possible that the relationship between awesome food and cultural diversity is causal."
