Urbanite
  Domestic Townhouses, Simple Dwelleings
  Communal Habitats,  Urban Multitenent Complexes,
Humans don't have a monopoly on diversity, any more than the other species, but what are the common cultural archetectures that can be associated with this group?
Maybe even what has survived, and how much has changed, since leaving home?

Oh humans!! Innocent We discover a galactic community filled with multiple species of aliens, and the first thing we think about is "how can we have sex with them?".

I like the arcology concepts- they would be cutting edge in the up and coming colonies- providing lots of housing for new colonists.

that would be balanced by the desire to get out of town and get their own digs.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Looks strikingly like Port Loren and Port Royal...

Looks more like Laco, Kdikit, or Triad...

Basic city planning I figure hasn't changed much...

... methods, materials, and clean-slate revisioning, is possible to change on each new colony however....

and dependent on the needs of a given planet.

And there will always be room for extremist utopian cults, and missrepresented benevolent humanists.

Humans are likely as diverse as ever...

Rant Warning:
But.... SF as a Type I sux! can I have a Type I.Beta ver. 0.05 please?
yeah yeah yeah... I want to live there, but get outa my holo-deck fantasy with your optimistic rot! I need something better than yet-another-unwashed-starving-sheep-herder to terrorize me in my weekend holo-toons.... you look like a fine upstanding corporate dictator, I think you'll do!

And I shall dub him, President Subaru Arisaka of the goon-squad megacorporation!  Seriously, he could pull it off if they ever did a CP movie! Where is my photoshop, bet I can recolor him to look like Skeletor!


Ahem, sorry about that, as I was saying, I imagine divirsity is still the order of the day, there are the clean 'future-cities' and the dirty 'administrator-overlord' slums, those that have, and those that have to take what they can get. I imagine this is true for all the Core Species...
