Division of Urbanization

Today in human geo we talked about division of urbanization. One of the divisions are the Greek Cities. By 500 BCE, Greeks were highly urbanized. They had a network of more than 500 cities and towns. They were urbanized on the mainland and on islands. Each city had an acropolis and an agora. Than we talked about the Roman Cities. This was a system of cities and small towns, linked together with hundreds of miles or roads and sea routes. Sites of Roman cities were typically used for trade. A Roman cities Forum combined the acropolis and agora into one space.
