What sparks more thought is that these key lessons be applied not only to cities but populated town centers as well. Especially thinking of New York City – the radius from which people commute here in New England is astounding and in many cases what were once small towns now accomodate a much larger (and growing) population. These lessons need to trickle down from the bigger cities and town managers must become even more creative to attract not only those who are born and bread from a particular town, but the transients too.

One other important consideration is energy use. I love winter, I hate being cold, but I love, love, love the holiday season, mulled wines, chocolates, warm foods, and anything that keeps me outside – especially when the lights come on. How are cities, business, public spaces/place thinking about energy use? Are community members, developers etc…. encouraging renewable sources?
