Beautification is the process of making visual improvements in a town or city, typically to an urban area. This most often involves planting trees, shrubbery, and other greenery, but frequently also includes adding decorative or historic-style street lights and other lighting, and replacing broken pavement, often with brick or other natural materials. Old-fashioned cobblestones are sometimes used for crosswalks – not just for aesthetics, but also to slow down motorists. - Wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beautification Amy Sample Ward
