    Abstract
    Urbanization, the process of city building, will continue to transform our countryside and our way of life as population expansion proceeds. Solutions to the problem of the physical structure for new urban building have continued the use of traditional forms - "Village", "Neighborhood", "Plaza", "Suburb", derived for the initial city form of the post industrial age, belying the very changes in social and economic structure now responsible for the urbanization process. From three forces in our society today; the accelerated rate of change of information, the increasing attention to personal life development, and the breakdown of the dichotomy of work and leisure, a new functional social pattern is emerging.; The basis of this functional pattern is the combination of work, leisure, and education. Not only is industry now returning personnel to school periodically, but industry itself has become educational: problem oriented for both discovery of knowledge and innovation for application of knowledge. To accomplish this functional groups are formed on the basis of the task force - a short term gathering of professionals who work together for the execution of a specific mission and are then disbanded. With more and more production accomplishable by automatic methods the continuous life learning orientation of the professional will become common.;
