"The city is not... an evil invention of ungodly fallen man.... The ultimate goal set before humanity at the beginning was that human-culture should take city-form...The cultural mandate...was a mandate to build the city." - Meredith Kline, Kingdom Prologue

Calvinism is not determinism. Packer's little classic Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God is still a great read, See also Don Carson, Divine Sovereignty and Human Responsibility.
