a large human settlement

Cities generally have
extensive systems

Their density facilitates interaction between people, government organizations and businesses, sometimes benefiting different parties in the process. Historically, city-dwellers have been a small proportion of cities

are in different degree also connected globally beyond these regions.humanity overall, but following two centuries of unprecedented and rapid urbanization, roughly half of the world population now lives in cities, which has had profound consequences for global sustainability.[6] Present-day cities usually form the core of larger metropolitan areas and urban areas—creating numerous commuters traveling towards city centers for employment, entertainment, and edification. However, in a world of intensifying globalization, all cities are in different degree also connected globally beyond these regions.

Palitana represents the city's symbolic function in the extre- me, devoted as it is to Jain temples. A city is distinguished from other human settlements by its relatively great size, but also by its functions and its special symbolic status, which may be conferred.

The term can also refer either to the physical streets and buildings of the city or to the collection of people who dwell there, and can be used in a general sense to mean urban rather than rural territory. A variety of definitions, invoking population, population density.

Number of dwellings, economic function, and infrastructure, are used in national censuses to classify populations as urban. Common population definitions for a city range between 1,500 and 50,000 people, with most U.S. states using a minimum between 5000 inhabitants.

However, some jurisdictions set no such minimums. In the United Kingdom, city stat- us is awarded on local criteria. According to the "functional definition" a city is not distinguished by size alone, but also by the role it plays within a larger political context. Cities serve as administrative, commercial, religi- ous, and cultural hubs for their larger surrounding areas. Examples of settlements called city which may not meet any of the traditional criteria to be named such include Broad Top City, Pennsylvania (pop 452) and City Dulas, Anglesey, a hamlet.

Our features

First
Impressions

The presence of a literate elite is sometimes included in the definition. A typical city has professional administrators, regulations, and some form of taxation food and other necessities.

Challenge
Competition

This arrangement contrasts with the more typically horizontal relationships in a tribe or village accomplishing common goals through informal agreements between neighbors.

The word city and the
related civilization come

via Old French, from the Latin root civitas, originally meaning citizenship or community member and eventually coming.

Urban geography deals
both with cities in their
larger context

In the nineteenth century, through the present most of the world's urban population lives near the coast or on a river. Urban areas as a rule cannot produce their own food and therefore must develop some relationship with a hinterland which sustains them.

Only in special cases such
as mining towns which play
a vital role

Town siting has varied through history according to natural, technological, economic, and military contexts. Access to water has long been a major factor in city placement and growth, and despite exceptions enabled by the advent of rail transport.

our advantages

what we made?

These spaces historically reflect and amplify the city's centrality and importance to its wider sphere of influence. Today cities have a city center or downtown, sometimes coincident with a central business district.

why we are the best?

What are our plans?

Western philosophy since the time of the Greek agora has considered physical public space as the substrate of the symbolic public sphere.Public art adorns (or disfigures) public spaces.

how much it cost?

Cities typically have public spaces where anyone can go. These include privately owned spaces open to the public as well as forms of public land such as public domain and the commons.

Dutch cities such as
Amsterdam and Haarlem

In more recent history, such forms were supplemented by ring roads moving traffic around.

Urban structure generally follows one or more basic patterns: geomorphic, radial, concentric, rectilinear, and curvilinear. Physical environment generally constrains the form in which a city is built. If located on a mountainside, it may rely on terraces and winding roads. It may be adapted to its means of subsistence. And it may be set up for optimal defense given the surrounding landscape.Beyond these "geomorphic" features, cities can develop internal patterns, due to natural growth or to city planning. In a radial structure, main roads converge on a central point. This form could evolve from successive growth over a long time.

Urban-type settlement extends far beyond the traditional boundaries of the city proper in a form of development sometimes described critically as urban sprawl. Decentralization and dispersal of city functions.
