In the Beginning of City Building nature played a strong factor in the design for the inhabitants. Agriculture was an important role in daily existence. Today those ideas have changed. A majority of populations live and work in urban centers. Living and working is circumscribed around a radius as large as twenty five miles. However, there are some thing that still make the city successful for human inhabitants: Green spaces- the lungs of every metropolitan area which can and should be trees, mixed with water are a repose to the built environment. Adequate transportation-not just the car can be through many types and forms of transportation which allow interaction with the environment.. Bicycles and walking are a healthy thing. The most important transportation systems moves people and material. Next, Community and Cultural Centers provide a historical aversion to daily life and connection to the community. The ideal city should also be close to a body of water. Historically for transportation and sewage, it is now a psychological connection to nature and biological systems. Finally, Security - a city must be livable to travel within its borders in order to experience the many activities and people without fear. The ability to look and greet people of all types is a human social need. Face to face communication is best.
