Write about the beginning of urbanization in the Neolithic age.

Answer»
  • After settling down at one place for a long time, a feeling of ownership arose among neolithic people. 
  • This feeling was focused on their individual dwellings and the piece of land cultivated by them. 
  • With social organization and administration, the villages expanded. 
  • Along with it, awareness of collective landholdings and the village boundaries became prominent.
  • It was thus felt that the village community had a natural right over the immediate territory around the village periphery. 
  • This kind of awareness of natural rights over a particular region is known as ‘territoriality’. 
  • Rules and norms were created to manage the collective resources, water sources, crafts dependent on it, trade and community life, etc. Consequently, rituals and their details gained importance. 
  • The need of managing and keeping records of trade, rituals, writing, systems, and administrative machinery developed. 
  • It gave rise to administrative centers. Such administrative centers attract a large population that includes officials, people from various occupations. 
  • As a result, the periphery of the original settlement kept expanding and cities came into being. Thus, began the process of urbanization in the Neolithic age.
