When you enjoy a city you're visiting for the first time, you never come away saying, "Wow, ABCville has an awesome economy! It's incredible how they've attracted all these amazing companies!"
Most likely, you find yourself thinking, "What a beautiful place, in terms of natural and architectural beauty. So many parks and trees everywhere! And it's filled with so much great, unique culture and good food."
You cannot have great cities without culture.
