" A catalyst is an urban element that is shaped by the city and then, in turn, shapes its context...
" Catalytic urban design works not from a master plan, but from a master program. It sets out intentions and methods but not solutions. It uses zoning as combined tools of control, guideline and incentive. It is characterized by sequencing of development. It thus calls for both idealism and pragmatism: idealism about the specialness of the place and pragmatism about making that place work in relation to contemporary needs and local culture and values. This dual need calls for a unique vision for each urban place. "
