If you think cities are beautiful you are entitled to your opinion, I just disagree. I think they're ugly
I think that your opinion is overly reductive. There are a lot of differences between cities and even parts of cities. There is a lot of variance between
Sure, big difference, still less easy on the eyes, in my opinion, than an open field or a forest of trees. Nature will always be more attractive to me.
Nobody is arguing that cities are more beautiful than the natural world. Rather that cities can also be beautiful in their own right if they're properly built.
We can all agree that poorly planned cities that are filled with concrete and trash look terrible. But there are alternatives if we actually listened to professional city planners and incorporated less car-dependency (concrete roads, parking lots, box stores), more green space, etc.
