How to Make an Attractive City: A Video with 6 Rules
#1
How Beautiful is Waterloo Region? How Beautiful Will it Become?

Noted philosopher and writer Alain de Botton, narrating a video posted by The School of Life, suggests 6 rules for building a beautiful city:

1.  Not too chaotic, not too ordered
2.  Visible life
3.  Compact
4.  Orientation and mystery
5.  Scale
6.  Make it local

How do you think the cities in the Region (and the Region as a whole) rank?

( Perhaps tangentially related to this thread on the Region's Top 10 Buildings )
