Urbanization+in+the+Renaissance

Urbanization means that more thinly populated areas become more densely populated allowing more opportunities. Urbanization made the Italian cities more populated with different cultures. Urbanization also gave the Italian cities more ideas and knowledge from different culture groups. It also allowed Italian cities to become more wealthy. They could have used this wealth to build a bigger army, invest in more interesting projects and explore more of the world with new technology such as the compass. Urbanization also gave people that moved to the cities better and more opportunities. These opportunities such as jobs gave Italian cities a broader outlook on different subjects. Since people from different cultures moved to Italian cities, Italy became a more well rounded continent. Italian cities were able to study more languages and subjects that could make them smarter. Urbanization also allowed the population to live more densely among each other which could lead to more friendships between different raced people. Urbanization made Italy more developed and gave them many new and better opportunities such as exploration of the world and creation of new products and technology.

In the top left corner of the picture above is the urban area. It is an urban area because of all the houses and buildings. The land looks more dense with buildings and probably people as well. The bottom of the picture shows less developed area such as farm land. The land is less dense and it doesn't have buildings or houses. The land also has a lot of animals wandering around. This picture shows the difference between the less developed or rural area and the more developed area or urbanized area.
