It's not entirely inappropriate, as it's often a poor civic self-image that's expressed in the state of the built environment. Post-war ravages of once-intact town centres are one thing, but getting the political will together to plan proactively and wisely is often scuppered partly by that kind of self-loathing. It's very important to give people reasons and motivations to think that they can improve the place where they live.
