Perhaps the sum of the factors that add up to a community\u2019s quality of life: housing options, decent jobs, robust neighborhoods, mobility, vibrant public spaces, and affordability. But really, couldn\u2019t that apply to any town, of any size? What makes a \u201ccity\u201d so special? For me, it is the stimulating cultural life\u2026 Entertainment, enlightenment, recreation, inspiration\u2014those things that help us step beyond the bounds of our day-to-day pragmatic existence and fire up our sense of possibility, collectively and individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diversity plays a key role here. Through the eyes of San Francisco\u2019s huge range of artists, for instance, I can experience radical differences among us and discover surprising affinities. I can imagine myself walking in different shoes, speaking a different language. Through art I can thrill to the beautiful or strange, surrender to the ridiculous, or struggle to comprehend the darkness. Art is the door to a million feelings, a cultural landscape that literally and spiritually brings people together. When we venture into foreign territory together, we bond. We share the same experience, we are on the same team. We cultivate empathy, and empathy is surely the deepest root of tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/13717263_10153777686922467_8910997272587962337_o-1900x522-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"281\" data-attachment-id=\"423\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/2020\/07\/23\/arts-and-liveable-cities\/13717263_10153777686922467_8910997272587962337_o-1900x522-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/13717263_10153777686922467_8910997272587962337_o-1900x522-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1900,522\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"13717263_10153777686922467_8910997272587962337_o-1900&#215;522-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/13717263_10153777686922467_8910997272587962337_o-1900x522-1-300x82.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/13717263_10153777686922467_8910997272587962337_o-1900x522-1-1024x281.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/13717263_10153777686922467_8910997272587962337_o-1900x522-1-1024x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/13717263_10153777686922467_8910997272587962337_o-1900x522-1-1024x281.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/13717263_10153777686922467_8910997272587962337_o-1900x522-1-300x82.jpg 300w, https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/13717263_10153777686922467_8910997272587962337_o-1900x522-1-768x211.jpg 768w, https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/13717263_10153777686922467_8910997272587962337_o-1900x522-1-1536x422.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/13717263_10153777686922467_8910997272587962337_o-1900x522-1.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>ODC\/Dance company member Josie G.

Public art and good urban design can also have positive economic spin-offs, creating landmarks that attract tourists and delight residents, thus assisting urban regeneration and contributing to branding and citizen loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The power of joy is that it is an inherently attractive force; rather than turning people away, it draws them together.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>And let\u2019s not forget pure pleasure! The power of joy is that it is an inherently attractive force; rather than turning people away, it draws them together. Joy in art can be used to highlight problems in a city in a way that invites people to participate in fixing them. A pop-up dance performance around a decaying building, a guerilla theater event in a seldom-used park or street art on a derelict wall can brighten a landscape that had been left devoid of color or nature. Today, rather than hasty murals completed under cover of darkness, the work of street artists is more likely to be recognized as a valuable contribution to the city\u2019s cultural fabric. Witness the walls in San Francisco\u2019s Mission District or the street iconography in Wynwood Florida. Public art contributes to a delightful shift of our perspective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/7538454024_043b9bd285_o-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"425\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/2020\/07\/23\/arts-and-liveable-cities\/7538454024_043b9bd285_o\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/7538454024_043b9bd285_o-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon PowerShot G12&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1341644873&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;10.775&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.001&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"7538454024_043b9bd285_o\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/7538454024_043b9bd285_o-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/7538454024_043b9bd285_o-1024x768.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/7538454024_043b9bd285_o-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/7538454024_043b9bd285_o-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/7538454024_043b9bd285_o-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/7538454024_043b9bd285_o-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/7538454024_043b9bd285_o-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/enlightenment-demo.onedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/7538454024_043b9bd285_o-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>In the Photo: San Francisco\u2019s Mission District.
