Visit the Wonderful City of Denver

The City Beautiful Movement was a reform philosophy concerning North American architecture and urban planning that flourished during the 1890s and 1900s with the intent of using beautification and monumental grandeur in cities. The movement, which was originally associated mainly with Chicago, Detroit, and Washington, D.C. promoted beauty not only for its own sake, but also to create moral and civic virtue among urban populations. Advocates of the philosophy believed that such beautification could thus promote a harmonious social order that would increase the quality of life.
There is no city like Denver, and there's no better starting point that the mayor that runs it all. When we speak of this titular role, most of us imagine stuffy, urbane, municipal creatures with all the charm of a bean counter. John Hickenlooper instead ran the state's most popular microbrewery before he got into politics. There is no better politician than one who has a track record of running popular things, as well as proven taste in booze.
The entire Front Range Urban Corridor now houses more than four million residents, and Hickenlooper, the incumbent mayor, has an upper hand over the largely Democratic city council government. As the largest city within 500 miles, it seems natural that the majority of goods and services in the Mountain States, the Southwest, and virtually all Western states sit in Denver's inventory and distribution channels. It is not so much as Californian competitors as much as the large urban conglomerations in the Midwest such as Chicago and St Louis that are essential to Denver's sphere of influence.
World War I prolonged the City Beautiful movement in Australia, as more memorials were erected than in any other country. Although City Beautiful, or artistic planning, became a part of comprehensive town planning, the Great Depression of the 1930s largely ended this fashion. Now, however, in Australia, many streets are tree-lined and streetscapes and skylines are regulated. This was largely a result of the city beautiful philosophy.
