in olden times there were no cities anywhere in the world. people lived in communities. they chose places where they could get water and food easily. then a time came when people began to live in small settlements near the rivers and along the coasts. they preferred to live around the trade routes.

          in some settlements a powerful person became the king. he built a fort or palace. he needed servants to work for him he also needed army to fight his enemy. so more and more people began to work for the king they built new houses. there grew markets and bazars to meet the everyday needs of the people. the craftsman set up their workshops. in this way small settlements developed into cities. the number of cities began to increase.

there are cities where many factories have been setup. such cities are called in industrial cities. the industrial cities developed in the places where sources of power such as coal gas and oil were availables .
