	We built this city . with quantum mechanics
		According to Arida: "The city is both the people and the buildings they inhabit." He defines these two complementary dualities as urbs and civitas, or stone and emotion.
		Rather, a city's architectural evolution must unfold in accordance with the pulse of the people, evolving in light of cultural changes, transformations in intellectual outlooks and shifts in emotion.
		From cities of God, governed by religious fervor, to cities of man, where humanism reigned architectural design, Arida neatly explains the cultural trends that produced the cities of our past using quantum language, and applies this model to the present.

		As the headquarters of the LDS Church and later the territorial and state capital, Salt Lake City and its county have always been the center not only of Utah's population but also of its political and economic power.

		I’m on my way to Broken City, a deliberately ramshackle bar on Eleventh Avenue where I’ve arranged to meet a handful of people from the Calgary Urban Initiative (CUI), an upstart group of young Calgarians concerned with the development of their city.
		For too long, few Calgarians have cast a critical eye upon their built environment, choosing instead to accept its flimsy façade of urbanity as if it were the real thing.
		Brent Toderian is an urban planner and manager of the Centre City Plan, a scheme that is crafting a new and comprehensive vision of centre-city Calgary.

		Apparently, a ship from China came into port there with plague-carrying rats, so perhaps the city was built on highly infections diseases.

		In the ensuing years, carpenters built much of the city's buildings and infrastructure and even their own labor temple, Dilgard said.

		I found out for my self what city it is. I will try to add both this and another thing I found out as a song fact.

		Starship weren't trying to encapsulate anything profound in that song, merely the atmosphere of a west-coast city with a rock music radio station - and that they succeeded in doing splendidly, coupling a superb bassline with a pure power-pop chorus.
		Two of the hits, "We Built This City" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" (from the film 'Mannequin') prove that this CD is worth every penny.
