Streetscapes are important to the urban environment. They define place. Feelings of a sense of place have been declining in the United States since after World War Two. It is time that Americans look at the places that they live and understand that the streets, neighborhoods, and communities that they live in affect them in their everyday lives. Good streets and communities are purposefully built and maintained.
