It is up to us to decide whether we want schools or parking lots, community-driven recycling projects or construction sites, loneliness or solidarity, cars or buses, and it is our responsibility to do that now, for ourselves, for our families, for the people who make our lives worth living, and for the incredible creativity, beauty, and wonder that make our cities, in spite of all of their problems, the greatest invention of our time.
最终的决定权在我们手里， 我们是想要学校 还是停车场， 社区回收项目 还是建筑工地， 孤独或团结，汽车或公交， 现在我们有责任去做这些， 为我们自己，为我们的家人， 也为那些让我们值得生活下去的人们， 以及为那惊人的创造力、美丽和奇迹—— 那些使得我们的城市成为—— 尽管它们有着各种各样的问题—— 我们这个时代最伟大的发明的东西。
