I like things that are kind of eclectic, when one thing doesn't go with another. That's why I love Rome. The town itself is that way.

— Giambattista Valli

The new architecture and urban design of segregation could be called Calvinist: they reflect a desire to live in a world of predestination rather than chance, to strip the world of its wide-open possibilities and replace them with freedom of choice in the marketplace. ↗
