I really don't think that beauty comes from a set of government standards... Beauty comes from people actually caring about a place and that's really fucking hard to create and maintain when so many are in the business of just extracting as much as they can and moving on - local government included.

How do we create better "customers" for architects and better citizens that demand more from the built environment?

I think this is where a design panel comes in. Of course I don't trust the government to know how to handle aesthetics for it is often used by a government for their own agenda. However, it is possible to implement a design committee panel to give input on a design and suggest ideas to a developer. These are common in other cities, with Toronto being a close example: https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/p...iew-panel/
