The HDD is the brainchild of Kiravian development guru [[P.D. Cavriolan]]. Cavriolan's approach to large-scale holistic development emphasises the spatial dynamics of the development process, noting that the beneficial effects of successful development interventions radiate spatially from their epicentres. Appropriating the revolutionary socialist concept of a {{wp|Revolutionary base area|compact revolutionary zone}}, Cavriolan introduced the 'compact ''evolutionary'' zone' model for organising development projects. Cavriolan's thesis states that successful development efforts are multi-dimensional (addressing different and overlapping human needs, such as nutrition, sanitation, housing, education, social capital), that successes in development compound one another and can become subject to a law of increasing returns, and that the benefits of these successes diffuse radially across space. Therefore, he argues, it is most effective to concentrate efforts addressing all aspects of development intensively in a few compact geographic areas, rather than to independently address different development needs in many locations across a wide area, which he perceived to be the norm. Later in his career, he expanded these same principles into the related concept of the 'development {{wp|Mandala (political model)|mandala}}' as a model for harnessing the synergistic effects of multiple autonomous development projects over an extended geographic area. | The HDD is the brainchild of Kiravian development guru [[P.D.

Its creation was proposed by a high-level study committee inside the Overseas Development Executive tasked with providing the [[Executive College|Cabinet]] with recommendations for a national reconstruction strategy in the aftermath of the dissolution of Nanzitolclatl, after which the Kiravian Federacy found itself in possession of half of the former country, inheriting its pervasive preëxisting development deficiencies and the devastating effects of the war. Following Cavriolan's theory, the committee recommended adopting a clear distinction between relief efforts and development efforts, and initially concentrating most development efforts for the native population in a single, reasonably central area of the country that would also serve as a "hub" for relief services, logistics, and subsequent expansions of development work into more peripheral regions. | ||

Establishment of the District was authorised in 212XX by the [[Index of Kiravian Legislation|Trans-Atrassic Security & Development Act II]], and subsequently enacted by an Ordinance of the Mid-Atrassic Crona Executive Council. | ||

According to the Passport Bureau, which collects population statistics for Mid-Atrassic Crona, the HDD has an enrolled population of 745,346, though it notes that registration and the issue of passports to the members of several tribes living in the District is not yet complete. This figure does not include the thousands of [[Kiravian]] nationals living and working in the HDD as administrators, military personnel, aid workers, missionaries, and contractors, though it does include several hundred Kiravian transplants, mostly farmers and merchants, who have settled in the district independently. State-sponsored Kiravian workers in the District are encouraged to remain in the District after the expiry of their assignments and are eligible for land grants and Human Capital Transfer Programme payments. | According to the Passport Bureau, which collects population statistics for Mid-Atrassic Crona, the HDD has an enrolled population of 745,346, though it notes that registration and the issue of passports to the members of several tribes living in the District is not yet complete.
