In Big cities this would also usually mean it would be home to the ‘printing press’. The ‘Printing press’ alone could be said to be as crucial as Martin Luther’s contribution, as it was able to manufacture his beliefs into pamphlets which were able to be transported, especially around and in cities. It was argued by Elizabeth Einstein that the printing press helped ‘shape the reformation’. On top of this, the literacy rates within the cities were at higher levels and so more people were able to read the vast amounts of publications. The last key advantage of the cities’ contribution was the cities politics, as the cities were able to make their own decision about the reforming ideas.
Chapter 30 Factory system: The factory system replaced both the putting out system and proto industrial factories and was the characteristic method of production in industrial economies. Many of the new machines being made were too large and expensive for household use and were required to be in a bigger building. Engineers and entrepreneurs began to make complicated machines for large scale production. The significance of the factory system was it brought together more workers doing specialized tasks than ever before. It created jobs for people who never used to be able to work in the factory setting because the workers were required to do one task instead of the whole job.

Northern European Literature focused more on the Catholic Church and how to reform the Church’s humanity.
The second part of the liveability criteria is City designed for subtropical living. Subtropical living addresses house design for Brisbane’s climate. It also describes how future growth in Brisbane will be managed and how our green spaces are preserved. The Clean and green city is the third and final of the liveable criteria. Clean and green city is about energy and water.
The bishop or monastery ran the towns, in other words, they made and enforced all laws. The “judges” for prosecution were also the church. However, the church had no control in the country sides. The country sides were controlled by Nobility. From 1100 AD – 1300 AD, the merchant class began to develop more and wealth began to increase due to increase in trade.
Through out the Meiji period, the ruling Oligarchs made serious strides in bringing Japan from an almost medieval stage of development to a modern developed nation state. Almost all of the decisions these powerful men made in bringing their country forward were not made with the peoples best interest in mind, but rather in the Oligarchs lust for power and profit. When the Meiji rulers took over from the Tokugawa rulers, they knew they had to industrialize their country as fast as possible in order to keep up with Western technologies. For the most part the rulers used private companies to modernize the country. The private zaibatsu (10-15 extremely powerful corporations) ,the heads of which had direct ties to the ruling Oligarchs, directed the economy towards pure profit at the expense of workers rights.
Religion for all of these cities were the building blocks for developing their cities into highly populated and urban areas.

Even though the Roman Empire was strong, there was one major problem in the Empire, which would be its over expansion that caused both Empire and the republic became unstable and eventually broke down. The Roman Empire was said to be the strongest empire that was ever built. The empire controlled and ruled the largest area in European history for over a thousand years, covering about 2.2 million square miles across Europe. Their military had several advantages such as rapid development of the latest technology and due to their advanced engineering skills of the Romans in building roads. Their roads had a strong stone surface which also allowed water to run off to the sides.
