Institutionalizing Beauty
Annika Enqvist and Thérèse Kristiansson

www.newbeautycouncil.org

We take our own experience within NBC as example and draw parallels to the dynamics of power manifested by architecture, behaviour and action...
How could for example values of tolerance/intolerance be articulated? How does creation of values impact the decision-making in urban development and creation, selection and preservation of the city's cultural heritage? The protection of beauty, the protection of city-like aspects of the city, the city of Stockholm's "Snygg och Trygg" (Neat & Safe) - policies etc.
