EMERGENCY of staying

Emergence of Towns : The origin of the towns is usually regarded as the starting point of civilisation. Even in those days a city differed from a village by the fact that the citydwellers did not produce food. They were administrators, craftsmen, traders, and artisans. So it is very natural that if the agricultural production was not so improved as to provide the city-dwellers with surplus food, the growth of towns was not possible.

Fact:: In the Copper-Bronze Age the production of crops increased because of the use of improved implements made of copper and bronze in cultivation. Erection of dams and digging of canals also helped to increase food production.

Increase in the production of crops generated surplus food, that is, food in excess over what is actually needed. One of the villages became the town where the surplus from the way that towns grew. Invariably the towns grew near rivers. Why? Because it was easier to collect the surplus production through water transport. Again, in those days of primitive communication it was possible to move around through the rivers easily rather than by roads through land route.
