About 10,000 years ago, hunter-gatherers, aided by rudimentary agriculture, moved to semi-permanent villages and never looked back. With further developments came food surpluses, leading to commerce, specialization and, many years later with the Industrial Revolution, the modern city. Vance Kite plots our urban past and how we can expect future cities to adapt to our growing populations.

  1. What was the point of all this so called technology? Wouldnt of humans been better off just all farming? All of this technology is litterally built to make it easy for the lazy human. In doing so a small group has monopolized everything and controls all the food and all items we consume. It's not natural for human animals to all move to cities.

  2. We, as a responsible citizen, need to use whatever we have more efficiently & sustainably to reduce the human footprint on our nature so that more people can be accommodated in the urban areas.

  3. I hate cities… I really hope this doesn't happen in my lifetime. I love the country air, less people, and having a real community with traditions and culture.
