Today in Mr. Schick’s Human Geography class, we went over more information about the first urban revolution. We talked about cities and urban. Cities are a conglomeration of people and buildings clustered together to serve as a center of politics, culture, and economics. The two components enable to form a city is an agricultural surplus and social stratification. Urban is the build up of a central city and the suburban realm. There are the Five Hearths of Urbanization. The first one is called Mesopotamia, 3500 BCE. The second one was the Nile River Valley, 3200 BCE. The third was the Indus River Valley, 2200 BCE. The two first cities in the Indus River Valley were Harappa and Mohenjo. They had houses that were equal in size and had no monuments. The forth was Huang He and Wei River Valley, 1500 BCE and the last one formed in 200 BCE and it was called Mesoamerica.
