To say a feeling, an impression is to diminish it—expel it. But sometimes feelings are too strong: passions, obsessions. Like romantic love. Or grief. Then one needs to speak, or one would burst. The desire for reassurance. And, equally, to be reassured. (The itch to ask whether I’m still loved; and the itch to say, I love you, half-fearing that the other has forgotten, since the last time I said it.)

City-making is not only about making new places and buildings; it is as much about preserving good places and their connection to what surrounds them, adapting them sensitively for new times. It is about communities discovering new ways of living. Beginning with Marion Mahony Griffin, who drew the gardened boulevard city of Canberra and imagined a lake at its heart, creative women have led urban movements in many places and in many ways, unafraid to change the way we use cities, bringing new experiences and richer choices to their communities, from bike riding and community gardens, to local markets and public art. Small-scale places matter as much as the grand in scale and can be vast in their importance to the sense of community and their generosity to strangers. American urbanist Jane Jacobs famously said big plans could lead to mistakes. ‘Big plans never stirred women’s blood. Women have always been willing to consider little plans.’
