 * Other Ideas in the Article**
 * Interesting how Lynch's elements of a city all link together.
 * Lynch's elements are found in all cities, but he defines them in a new way.

Lynch uses much of his personal opinion. He frequently states how others feel abotu his ideas and others' opinions on their cities.
