POWER OF BIG CITIES
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Geografie Politica - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
The organization of people in increasing groups has increased their power and influence, providing the first professions, administration ideas, complex economic activities and trade. The tribe first appeared, then the village followed by the city, the metropolis, and the urban agglomeration that surpasses the population of a country. These are giants, with populations of a size that can not be imagined for the human mind, more and more megalomania, now dominating the decisional power of some extended regions, the states they belong to or the continents in their entirety, representing a new era in the evolution of civilization, era urban colossus.
