Yes, indeed, Mr. Schwinn: though I'm told & I see China is not everywhere a beautiful Country, I agree that living and working in pleasant places surely helps work quality. And by quality I mean productivity, too. I live in green hilly northern Italy, in the lakes region, close to swiss border: when I go to Milan, 40 miles away, I only find concrete & asphalt. I lived 20 years in Milan, but I would never go back. There's a point that I would like to raise, however: cities, all over the World, become more and more centripetal, hence making it rather difficult to be pleasant places where to live and work. I've read & seen something of London in the industrial revolution era: it was anything but a nice place, & it was very unhealthy, too. I've only been twice in the US, one in New York, the other in Ann Arbor (Michigan): the US have enormous areas where to build, but just think of a Country like Italy, where the only & small plains are squeezed between mountain & see. And the pressure of Agrarians. Thank you.
