- Summary:
- Many people see cities as primary places of economic activity, but cities are also sites of social, cultural, and religious relevance. Examples of cities and their roles are given in their historical and cultural contexts. Cities are the center where intellectuals, artists, musicians, revolutionaries and others congregate, as well as where power and inequality are often seen. This is all explored in this video using historical examples.
