Abstract
We argue cities exist are the result of economics forces of agglomeration mediated by technological progress. That is, urban growth is fuelled by economically advantageous division of labour. Available technology is the most important constraint to city growth. However, other factors such as political stability, peace and the control of plagues are also important.
