Celebration, Florida






While talking about B.F. Skinner's parenting approach (the Skinner Box) of engineering personality (sheltering his daughter's exposure to experiences outside his mandated environment) I was thinking, where has this tactic been used on a larger scale? My first responses were prison and mental institutions. Someone mentioned the Walt Disney World's intentional community called Celebration:

"A road called World Drive connects Celebration directly to the WDW parks and resorts; the north end of World Drive begins near the Magic Kingdom and its south end connects to Celebration Boulevard, allowing Celebration residents and guests to drive to Disney property without having to use any busy thoroughfares."
