How far does a place's surroundings reflect its people's culture or cultural status/development?
Does it mean that places with better or cleaner looking streets or more advanced architecture mean that its people's culture is more sophisticated?
Sociologists can dig up more to this. The people's mentality affect the responsibilities they have to make their surroundings, the streets, the architecture, the government, family trends and even their clothes and the food they eat.
I am curious to know if there is an in-depth study that was done before to prove this theory before I can formulate my own without being too anecdotal in what I am about to say.
