Neal Spackman: Terraforming part 3: People Systems and Cultural Framework

SDMC's founder Neal Spackman, from the Al Baydha Project Office in Saudi Arabia. Here Spackman presents his approach to understanding and operating in foreign cultures. This is informed by his years in Saudi Arabia as the first American and first Non-muslim to live and work with tribal groups south of Makkah. No matter how good any design, if you don't account for culture and plan for who will manage them, it will not succeed.

Historically speaking Saladin's nemesis should be referred to as 'European armies', not 'Christian armies'. The reason why I say this is because Saladin was not just a ruler of Muslims. Saladin's Muslim government ruled over indigenous Syriac and Assyrian Christians as well as Jews from the Middle East region. European crusaders also killed indigenous Christians and Jews. The above mentioned information is well taught by Syrian Christians, Palestinian Christians and Jews who never left the Middle East. Thank you Neal Speakman for giving us so much useful information on water usage in arid climates, creating microclimates, etc...
