Lately I’ve been watching bunch of walk videos from Japan, especially from Tokyo and what you said is extremely visible. Plenty of stuff that’s absolute marvel to look at concidering the amount of people. Some of the busiest streets seem so ”clear” and clean that you could almost lick the pavement. It looks almost impossible. There’s also loads of different type greenery and lights everywhere that are clearly being kept tidy too.

Here it’s so common that even decent projects are very quickly left to rot without proper maintenence. It’s such a shame.
