Cities For Peace was set up so cities that have decided to become actively engaged in the only program proven to be able to create world peace could inform the residents and officials of other cities about the program and their commitment to helping create a peaceful world. At all cities that are members of Cities For Peace, at least 1% of the residents, city employees and officials are participating in the program. An additional benefit to the city is described below.
Since you may not have read the home page of For Peace, that program is Transcendental Meditation. Hundreds of studies have been done on the TM program and the findings published in major scientific journals as well as various magazines. The research shows that the TM programs create a “peace effect.”
"Maharishi predicted in 1960 that if just one percent of the world’s population practiced the Transcendental Meditation technique, there would be an end to war. In 1974, scientists noted a growing number of cities where one percent of the population had learned the Transcendental Meditation technique. They looked at crime statistics in these “one percent” cities, they found that when a city reached the one percent level there was a decrease in the crime rate. At the same time, matched control cities maintained an increase in crime rate—as did the United States as a whole. They named this phenomenon the Maharishi Effect.” (From www.tm.org) More research can be found at http://www.istpp.org/crime_prevention/.
If you would like to talk to one of the city officials who is participating in the program, click on the name of the city at the left and you will be taken to a page where you will find contact information. The page may include one or more statements by participants describing any benefits they have received from the practice.
