Primary - each primary need must be available as an easily accessible, unpolluted, and temperate function of life.
Secondary - although not absolutely necessary, providing for secondary needs allows large groups to exist in one location over a long period of time.
- Clothing
- Sunlight
- Exercise
- Solid Trash Pickup / Recycling
- Sewage Treatment
- Work or Purpose
- Entertainment
- Electricity
Tertiary - these needs allow for many large groups to coexist with others harmoniously, and for even denser urban areas to function over longer periods of time.
- Recreation / Nature
- Shopping / Trade
- Transportation
- Communication
- Healthcare
- Safety and Regulation
- Company
- Religion
- Education
- Creative Outlets / The Arts
- Risk
When creating either a real or fictional society, these needs should be provided for. Although it is absolutely possible that a society of people can live and thrive without a few of these needs, such as electricity, ever being made available, a modern society will encounter problems related to a lack therein. Many societies will face the heightened probability of crime or even war when these needs are not met.
