dc.description	Many theories and ideas have shaped the development of cities (hall 1998, Mumford 1961, howard 1946), yet no one can claim that the ideal design, economic size, or development pattern exists for any single city. The characteristics of cities are shaped by complex sets of historical, geographic, economic, social, physical, governance, technological, and chance factors. The economies of cities also differ depending on their history and functions. Cities change, often in short periods of time, while others develop into mega cities. Cities are complex systems (Alexander 1965, Allen 1997), which makes it difficult to study them and understand how they function. Nevertheless, the hope is that exploring the factors that shape city development will lead to a better understanding of how to design and develop cities that are more livable and sustainable.	-
