What determines our behavior? The environment!
Similarly to all other living creatures’, our behavior is determined largely by the factors in our environment. The combination of influences throughout the countless events in our lives build our character and we assume a role in our society. From the time our biological senses start to develop, different environmental influences have impact on us to various degrees altering our perception of the world and thus our behaviour. Evidently, early childhood development reflects most behavioral habits in adults. The culture we currently live in reinforces the habits that we acquired while growing up and many undesirable behaviours are just products of long exposure to detrimental environments.
Creative Environments
In a global Resource Based Economy most environments are designed to encourage creativity in all aspects of life. A systems approach to city design results in highly effective construction methods combined with minimum resources usage. In many places around the world the natural environment might determine the city design and construction methods. The cities would function as research and development centers, informing people all over the world about the latest scientific and technological developments as well as current global projects and events, acting as university cities.
City Systems
We propose city systems suitable for different environmental conditions. In most areas where the land is flat the optimal solution would be circular cities. Total enclosure systems would be more suitable for places where the natural environment is hostile to humans. Cities in the sea would act as laboratories for the study of marine sciences as well as the reclamation and intelligent utilization of the oceans.
Cities in the Sea
A global network of such cities in the sea can easily accommodate many millions of people and relieve the land based population pressures. They can provide the inhabitants with information and […]
Total Enclosure Systems
Places with inhospitable conditions such as polar and equatorial regions have prevented us in thoroughly investigating their potential. Total enclosure systems, above ground and subterranean, provide a high standard of […]
Circular Cities
It would be far easier and would require less energy to build new, efficient cities than to attempt to update and solve the problems of the old ones. We believe […]

Frequently Asked Questions
Thanks for Sharing to all, i missed your articles a bit in last time.
I fully agree new thinking and development has to supersede the old.
Also on city management and city collaboration level. Not only in construction.
Greetings to all
good to see the tvp on steemit!
Hi! I am a robot. I just upvoted you! I found similar content that readers might be interested in:

Upvoted but not agree about the environment. Our genetic code have much more influence in our behavior that environment, as shows many studies about adaptive behavior in stress and non favorable circumstances. And I mean our individual genetics, not a racial one.
Thank you for the comment.
Our behavior is an outcome of combination of environmental factors (such as social environment, culture etc.), biological (such as genetics, physiology etc.) and psychological.
