What is Geohistory of Cities and States about?
The document discusses the geohistory of cities and states over 10,000 years, from early urban settlements like Çatalhöyük to modern times. It argues that urbanization preceded agriculture and states, with cities stimulating societal development through trade and innovation. Challenging views that see states and large-scale agriculture as necessary for cities, it presents an alternative framework where cities emerged first and played a generative role in agricultural and social changes.
