I found the reading on how cities were established, and the why and where they
were located, very interesting because it informed me about how our cities started
and developed. Did you like the idea of Primate Cities, such as Paris, and what did
you think of the information on Paris in Figure 10-5 (below)? Take a look and let
me. I think it is amazing that so much of current day Paris is built upon so much
history? What did you think about learning this information?
Figure 10-5 Concentric rings of growth.
The earliest settlements also may have served as places to house women
and children while the men traveled in search of food. Household
objects made by women, such as pots, tools, and clothing, provided a
basis for the creation and transmission of a group’s values and heritage.
Today, settlements contain society’s schools, libraries, museums, and
archives—the repositories of knowledge and the vehicles for passing it
to future generations.
Early settlements protected groups’ land claims and food sources.
Palaces arose to house the group’s political leaders, and soldiers were
permanently stationed there. Many settlements were surrounded by
defensive walls. Long after the introduction of artillery, walls could still
hold off an attacker until help arrived or the attacker ran out of food, so
cities still built them. Paris, for example, surrounded the city with new
fortifications as recently as the 1840s and did not completely remove
them until 1932 (Figure 10-5). Today, cities are still the focus of military
and political activities, but few retain walls except for historic interest
(Figure 10-6). Most city walls were replaced in the nineteenth century
by parks or grand boulevards.
