Raising a city

by Duda

(based on a newspaper article)

City Stages

Infancy: Small, rural towns grow, reaching one another. Housing comes first, then restaurants, gas stations, and grocery stores.

Childhood: More housing, more schools, roads, city services. Major retailers come in.

Young Adulthood: Business development becomes the focus for job creation, such as regional malls. Must lure employers.

Adulthood: Reduced growth. Aging areas are revitalized. Grow upwards with high rises.
