I have to applaud your ability to find and appreciate nature in the city. At the same time, let's face it, cities are not beautiful nor pleasant in which to live, at least not if one has an appreciation of and respect for nature.

Cities came about for two reasons, neither of them particularly positive. Money and defense are the reasons that cities developed, not a particular desire of anyone to live in them.

It is also true that whilst the wealthy and quaintly entitled 'middle classes' may have the wherewithall to access the minimal natural beauty that exists within cities, for the majority of citizens the reality is usually very different and extremely dismal.

Citires, indeed, are the antithesis of nature. In fact, they pollute it, degrade it, disfigure and mutilate it, destroy its habitats and cause extinction of species that needed them, as well as creating continuing problems as they ever expand and usurp all that is natural around them.

Cities are not constructed for people - they are built and expanded to provide a workforce that can be controlled and is convenient to factories and businesses and these exist to enrich the few - the few who inevitably control the cities and what is or isn't allowed of the citizens who live in them.

No, there are no beautiful cities, though as you have described, there may be aspects of them in which some can find inspiration and aesthetic delight. Sadly, even then, it is only possible if one avoids any thought of the various costs and impacts of whatever induces that reaction.

Yes, nature is inspirational but let's not suggest that cities have any affinity with it.
