I was amazed when I heard that Copenhagen had a government department focused on Quality of Life. And that the bike culture of Denmark was created when they decided that cars were harming their quality of life (it was a 30 year project.) And Finland decided to focus their University on improving life - rather than just generic research. Considering those examples, I would say that cities need to reflect the needs and desires of their citizens - as opposed to the business leaders, the rich, and their politicians.
