Abstract

Since the dawn of settled agriculture and the birth of the first cities, such as Ur and Jericho, there has been a yearning to improve the lot of civilization. Enhancing the well-being of people and place is a timeless and perennial quest. Whether examining ancient mosaics that depict the good life in the cradle of civilization or modern community visions drawn with markers on mural paper by residents gathered in today’s multisector collaborative partnerships, one can see common patterns in diverse peoples’ ideas of what comprises quality of life. This recognition can inform ever-better ways to translate personal aspirations for well-being into collective actions for a healthier and more equitably prosperous United States of America.
