How Sydney could be better (Jane Austen ideas)

Fewer cars, more carriages.
More hats and bonnets.
Advertising consisting only of type and illustration.

Especially the last. Everywhere you look a windblown, under-dressed, over-airbrushed model is selling stuff right at you. I want to shut my eyes! Whereas I would be pleased to look at an elegant piece of typography, or an illustration of somebody wearing a bonnet.
