City placement and importance


Mr. R

Recommended Posts

Another factor in a city's growth is how aggressively it pursues extending its influence, not necessarily by conquest. Look at the Italian city-state of Venice. During the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance it was a significant mercantile and maritime power through establishing colonies and trading posts across the Mediterranean to control trade routes. Phoenician cities like Tyre and Carthage took the same course.
