Beauty is observed via the art of interconnectedness.
We can look no further than today’s headlines to recognize the domino effect one city has on another:
Our startups create job opportunities for others.
Our little movements turn into big movements with the aid of modern technology, social media and news outlets.
Our cities overlap and our metropolis’ coincide.
Our local economies affect the global marketplace.
The urban center ties together multiple nerve endings of separate political, social and economic events into a cohesive global community. But what is the purpose of this interdependence? We may also observe that all efficient networks operate artfully and that’s where real beauty lies. Our cities operate this way. Artful design and preserving the natural ecosystems that nourish them promotes the beauty of it’s function and intentionality. Working artfully for our cities involves a precise gracefulness…enhancing the purposefulness in smooth-running metros, infusing ecological health into them, and recreating the defined spaces for free expression and creativity. Whatever your field and wherever your domain, always strive to function artfully and beautifully.
