Publisher's Synopsis
CitiesDescription
- Cities as larger metropolitan areas concentrate trade, politics, culture, ideas and people.
- So they are important for local economies and why so many people live and work within or near to cities.
- The earliest city formed over 7000 years ago, and one of the reasons were to store surplus food.
- The military would fortify these cities to provide a means of controlling large areas beyond the city walls.
- Thus they became important centres for many reasons.
- Today almost half the world population live in cities.
- Which is why with 69 UK cities, you should find out about them, and what they are all about.
- So, record your visits in my comprehensive logbook (every city is listed), as its one way to find out more about the UK and widen your horizons.
