Today in
Human Geo class we learned more about Urban Globalization. Here are all the
notes we took from Mr. Schick’s PowerPoint.
2 Components to form urban cities:
- An agricultural surplus
- Social
stratification
Hearths of Urbanization:
-
Mesopotamia
(Iraq)- 3500 BC
-
Nile River Valley (Egypt)- 3200 BC
-
Indus River Valley (India)- 2200 BC
-
Haung He An Wei
River Valley (China)- 1500 BC
-
Mesomerica
(central america)- 200 BC
Mesomerica:
-
Mayan Aztec
civilizations
-
theocratic centers where rulers were deemed to
have divine authority and were god-kings.
Diffusion of Urbanization:
The Greek cities:
By 500 BC, Greeks were highly urbanized.
A network of more than 500 cities and towns made up the Greek empire.
Theses cities and towns were sitting on mainlands and islands.
Each city had an acropolis and an agora.
The Roman cities:
A system of cities and small towns that were linked together with roads and routes.
The Romans were the first to come up with connecting their cities with roads.
Sites of Roman cities were typically for trade.
A Roman city's form combines the acropolis and agora into one space.
Roman cities had extreme wealth and extreme poverty. Between 1/3 and 2/3's of the population was enslaved.
