The Problem
The businesses within them shape cities and communities, but their impact on aesthetics and overall well-being is often ignored. While some businesses enhance their surroundings with thoughtful design and maintenance, others contribute to visual decay, pollution, or neglect. Yet, there’s no clear way to measure or reward businesses that make our neighborhoods more beautiful.
The Solution
“How Nice Is” introduces a Business Aesthetic Impact Rating—a system that evaluates and highlights how businesses contribute to (or detract from) the visual appeal and atmosphere of their surroundings. Using a mix of community feedback, expert evaluation, and data analysis, we create a transparent rating that helps cities, businesses, and citizens make informed decisions.
Why It Matters
- For businesses – A high rating builds a positive brand image, attracts customers, and encourages investment.
- For communities – Aesthetic and well-maintained environments improve quality of life, property values, and local engagement.
- For city planners & decision-makers – Data-driven insights help promote sustainable urban development and incentivize responsible business practices.
Call to Action
“How Nice Is” isn’t just about measuring beauty—it’s about inspiring businesses to take pride in their surroundings and fostering better places for people to live, work, and visit.
