Calls for Neologies for the Term "City" in Memory of Visionary Cedric Price
summary
Cedric Price recounts his early 1960s proposal for a Fun Palace co‑designed with John Littlewood: a participatory, interactive venue intended as a ten‑year experiment rather than a permanent institution. He later sketches a practical intervention for New York City: injecting an oxygen zone — more parks and deliberate empty space to breathe. The talk offers concrete design intents, timelines and programmatic swaps rather than abstract praise, and presses for a new neologism to replace "city."
