"The defining theme is the presence of a large population in a limited space that follows social norms."
"This makes it possible for many subcultures close to each other, exposed to social influence without necessarily intruding into the private sphere."
"Globally, urban areas tend to hold concentrations of power, such as government capitals and corporate headquarters, and the wealthy and powerful people that are employed in them."
"Cities also organize people, create norms, beliefs, and values."
"There are five things that make a city: fortification, market, a law code, an association of urban citizenry creating a sense of municipal corporateness, and sufficient political autonomy for urban citizens to choose the city’s governors."
"In some countries, elites have built themselves enclaves outside of the central city (e.g. white flight in the United States)."
