Segment 1: How and why people fall in love with places.
There are all kinds of love affairs, including the ones we have with the cities where we live. While there isn't a perfect recipe, there are certain ingredients that endear people to the places they call home, including "walkability," rituals and traditions, and being able to share the space with other people who are enthusiastic about building a life there.
- Peter Kageyama, community development consultant and author
