Abstract
A plea for greater variety ran through six discussions between citizens and professionals who met to consider what neighborhoods should be like. Citizens expressed dissatisfaction with the usual suburban development and with the typical redevelopment project in the center of the city. They favored greater social heterogeneity and thought that greater variety would produce a better esthetic effect. Professionals demonstrated that their fields can provide knowledge to guide planners and developers in creating better neighborhoods. They showed that design, as well as providing esthetic satisfaction, affects people in many ways.
