Abstract

I think a city comes to be because none of us is self-sufficient, but we all need many things. Do you think that a city is founded on any other principle?No.And because people need many things, and because one person calls on a second out of one need and on a third out of a different need, many people gather in a single place to live together as partners and helpers. And such a settlement is called a city. Isn't that so?…
