Summary

City Growth Factors explores the key drivers behind urban expansion, focusing on the interconnected roles of industrialization, education, and infrastructure. The book argues that these factors, while evolving over time, remain foundational to understanding why cities grow. For example, the promise of economic opportunity attracts individuals, while investments in education foster skilled workforces essential for sustained development. Infrastructure, encompassing transportation and digital connectivity, facilitates efficient urban functioning. The book adopts a data-driven approach, using case studies and quantitative analysis to examine how cities have experienced rapid growth. It delves into topics like the transformation of rural areas and the impact of industrial policy. By integrating insights from economic geography, urban sociology, and public policy, the book offers a holistic view of city growth. Structured around a logical progression, the book introduces concepts like agglomeration economies before delving into case studies. It culminates by emphasizing the need for integrated urban planning strategies that address the interplay of these growth factors, offering practical applications for policymakers and urban planners. This comprehensive exploration aims to inform strategies for inclusive economic development and improved quality of life in our increasingly urban world.

    Did you know that the Incas worshiped the mummies of their emperors? 
For the Incas, death didn’t exist; it simply took the dead to a different plane of life. So, the mummies of their emperors were treated as people; they were given food and drink and even visited each other ceremoniously. They also owned country estates, which generated enough profits to keep them in the style to which they were accustomed. 
This might sound like a curiosity, but this form of ancestor worship was central to the Inca culture and to the history of the Inca Empire, which stretched from Ecuador and Colombia in the north to Chile in the south. 
Everyone has seen pictures of one of the Incas’ greatest achievements: the mountain-top wonder of Machu Picchu. But Inca history has always been told by the Spanish colonizers who conquered them since the Inca had no formal writing. Now, archaeology is giving us more information on how the Inca really lived, helping us differentiate real history from myth and propaganda. 
In this audiobook, you will discover how the Inca created an expansive empire in just a century and why that civilization crumbled so fast once the Spanish arrived. 
You’ll also discover the following:How the Inca civilization developed out of a number of preceding cultures in the Andes and Peruvian coast;How quickly the Incas were able to expand and why they needed to;How the empire was administered and how runners were able to take messages from one end of it to the other with remarkable speed;The amazing Inca infrastructure program, which included building roads through mountain ranges and across raging rivers;Why Inca cuisine included tasty guinea pigs and llama jerky;And so much more!
