Frankly I find the culture argument hilarious. How does a fancy expensive bridge change the culture? The culture of our city is suburbanite families taking their kids to hockey and participating in outdoor activities like camping, fishing, hiking, skiing, hunting, and the occasional world-class rodeo.
If that's not your kind of culture I guess you're in the wrong city!
Going outside of the country to get an expensive architect to design a gaudy structure doesn't seem culturally significant to me. Maybe I'm just out of touch.
