Summary/Abstract: Beauty becomes one of the most important public goods: a demand for beauty is increasing together with a growing level of satisfaction of the basic human needs. Public beauty, inscribed in cultural landscape, becomes its inherent component, particularly significant for urban identities and local communities. The theory of public beauty, based on the theory of public goods, defines the beauty of a landscape in terms of excludable and rivalrous properties, distinguishing the public, community, club, and private beauty. The theory emphasizes an important role of beauty stakeholders, including decision-makers, inspirers, influencers, flâneurs, and daily users, who perceive beautiful landscapes through visions of urban beauty utopias.
