Who's Your City? picks this up big time. There is a whole section on "beauty" and aesthetics that draws directly from the big survey I did with Gallup on what people truly desire in their communities. Zoe – Yes, Yes, YES.

I have been arguing for several years that our downtown - in order to compete with the strip malls - should be beautiful. People go out of their way to spend time in beauty. Cost is not really the issue. If you have the desire to live in beauty you will find a way to make it happen. The traditional Australian Aborigines were among the poorest people on earth. No place on the continent was guaranteed free of drought, so everyone had to migrate sooner or later. They had no wheel, nor any beast of burden, so they could take only what they could carry. Yet they developed an artistic tradition that now graces art museums around the world. If they could do it, we have no excuse. Here, here!
