ABSTRACT
The evolution of society and the city must endure to invest and participate in the civic culture and economic development of infrastructures and urban spaces. Collective public convictions are disappearing with the arrival of an increasingly individual 'consumer society'. The American Society of Civil Engineers estimated that spending of $450 billion per year is required to bring national infrastructure to an adequate level by 2020. Informal groups such as the Boy Scouts volunteered to participate in mitigating the damage of the Blitz by guiding fire engines, sounding alarms and making sure other civilians were directed into the underground shelters. In fact, Boulder City was a society under benevolent dictatorship where the physical, moral, and racial purity of the worker was enforced in return for security. Economic and social decline occur when there are problems with the quality of the physical environment, poor local and national services and weak social networks in the community.
