Urban loneliness is quite distinct from the solitude of the rural worker. It is a loneliness which a man experiences only among a large number of his fellow men in the knowledge that he is not related to any of them on a genuinely personal level. In fact, urban loneliness is not really solitude at all. It is the experience of being outside of rather than away from a group. Ibid. CASSERLY, J.V. Langmead (1909 )

The best and the worst things happen in cities. The metropolis is a center of culture as well as a home of uncultured masses whose debased standards present a constant threat to our culture. It is the source of law and order and the headquarters of crime... a religious and ecclesiastical center and a place of indifference and piety. The great city lives in a perpetual state of paradox. In the Bible, side by side we find images like Sodom, Gomorrah, and Babylon on the one hand and Zion and the New Jerusalem on the other. The Children of God in the City of Man CASSERLY, J.V. Langmead (1909 )
