URBAN DEVELOPMENT TREND AND HISTORICAL CHRONOLOGY

Abstract

This article is devoted to the development trends and historical chronology of cities. The development and history of cities are rooted in the distant past. A clear proof of this is that the first cities were formed in Mesopotamia: Uruk, Umma, Lagash, Ur and date back to the IV millennium BC, in India: Mohenjadaro and Harappa in the III millennium BC, in Greece: Knossos, Mycenae in the II millennium BC, in Central Asia: cities-the states of Khorezm, Bactria, Sogdiana, Afrasiab, Erkurgan, Gozalikir, Kyzyltepa in the VII century BC. This indicates the historical manifestation of the origin of the urbanization process, as well as the formation of specific living conditions in cities that focus on urban infrastructure. Analyzing the development of cities, the author focuses on their historical chronology. At the same time, he tries to shed light on the economic and social factors of urban development.
