Stepping back a pace or two, one of the things that governments can do for their citizens is create either directly or indirectly through building codes are great public spaces. One of the things that make Chicago, New York, Rome, London, Barcelona, et al are the plaza's and parks that uplift just walking through them. Even more benefit accrues from the congregations of individuals and groups who naturally gravitate to great spaces. All the best.
