I first saw Robert Marvin when he was giving a talk in the Charleston, South Carolina, municipal auditorium in the mid-1970s. He wasn't a natural public speaker, but he strove to make the point that, as the South continued to develop, we should weave natural systems into our plans for subdivisions, office campuses, and new towns. His overall message—like the quote above, which I gleaned from a conversation years later—struck a chord with me.
