Document Summary
Preconditions for urban development - january 24, 2017. Cities vary: spatially (across space, temporally (through time) Several definition: focus on population density, congregation of services. Nomadic: move throughout the year, hunting, fishing, gathering. Sedentary: one location year round, food mainly from agriculture. Importance of this shift: increased volume, reliability of food needed, higher population densities supported, emergence of permanent agriculture villages occurred. Colonial economy: economy centered on resource extraction, important sources of resources for home countries (e. g canada to england) Intentional deterrence: economic growth, political evolution, avoiding potential challenges to home country. Major settlements on coats, waterways: main method of long distance transport. Urban form: almost completely pedestrian oriented, most cities followed grid road structure, lacking technology to significantly build vertically. Several contributing factors to population growth: natural growth rate, factors favouring european emigration, new staple goods (exports from fur to lumber to grain) Clearing land for lumber, then used as farmland.
