American cities often developed with a focus on automobile accessibility, leading to sprawling layouts and extensive suburbs, while European cities typically prioritize public transport and walkability, resulting in more compact and pedestrian-friendly designs. Additionally, European cities tend to have a richer historical architecture due to their longer histories, whereas many American cities feature more modern and varied architectural styles reflecting their shorter development timelines. Lastly, public spaces and plazas are more common in European cities, fostering community interaction, while American cities often have larger parking lots and commercial areas that can detract from such communal spaces.
Sumerians refer to the people of the earliest historically documented civilization that existed for over three thousand years from sixth millennium B.C. to second millennium B.C. in Mesopotamia, around what is the South Iraq today.Often referred to as the 'cradle of civilization', the Sumerians have left a legacy of historical evidence about their existence as well as about other civilizations that existed in their time including those of Egypt and India, which suggest that they were advanced enough to have trade across different continents, even in those times. Sufficient historical evidence is also available about their language, literature, religion and cultureThe Sumerian civilization seems to have taken roots in sixth millennium B.C. and they mastered the art of agriculture which they began practicing the year round from around 5300 B.C. They are also credited with inventing the wheel, which probably revolutionized their existence and helped them built the first cities in the world. Their urban density was sufficient to dictate division of labor and they also developed their own Sumerian language which is considered a language isolate as it does not belong to any particular linguistic family. It is an agglutinative language, where different units of meaning are added to create words rather than sentences.Their history is divided in to Upbraid period in the Neolithic to Chalcolithic age (from 5300 to 4100 B.C.), Uruk period which lasted up to the early Bronze age (from 4100 to 2900 B.C.), early Dynastic period (2900 -2334 B.C.), and the age Akkadin, Gutian and Ur III dynasties, which lasted up to 1940 B.C., when the Sumerian civilization was finally replaced by the Babylonian rule.The most impressive and well known part of Sumerian culture is their pottery. The primitive pictograms suggest that there were all types of pottery made since early times, including dishes, vase, bowels and jars of all sizes. There are many metal artifacts found with written inscriptions in Sumerian language, as are seals of Indus valley civilization of India found there, suggesting extensive trade links across the world. Sumerians followed a lunar calendar, and a religion of gods worshipped as humans. The early region is dominated by existence of spirits while the late periods are devoted to human gods. Every city was built as a temple centered inhabitation, where the king-priest dominated the power. Every city had a different god.'An' was the Sumerian god of heaven or sky, while 'Enki' was the earth god. Other major deities included 'Enlil', the god of the ghost-land, 'Inanna' was Venus, 'Utu' the Sun god and 'Nanna' the Moon god. In addition there were hundreds of minor deities. Their agriculture was highly developed, with crops including wheat, barley, lentils, date, onions, garlic, lettuce and mustard. The agriculture thrived on irrigation systems that they developed, and their final downfall was brought about by the increasing salinity of soil resulting from poorly drained land.Sumerians have left numerous legacies for mankind including instruments of agriculture, pottery and war trade. They invented many new techniques and skills in different wakes of life in their time including mathematics, boat and ship making, armory and communication.
Many white Americans left the cities in what what called "white-flight" and moved into the suburbs. As well, over 5 million southern African Americans migrated into inner cities between the end of WWII and 1960.

The first cities are believed to have developed in ancient Mesopotamia, particularly in the region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers (modern-day Iraq). Cities like Uruk and Ur are among the earliest known urban settlements.
The earliest Indian civilization, known as the Indus Valley Civilization, was centered around the Indus River. This ancient civilization thrived from approximately 3300 to 1300 BCE and was known for its advanced urban planning, architecture, and sophisticated drainage systems. Major cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro were key centers of this civilization, which significantly influenced the cultural and social development of the region.
The earliest city-states of Mesopotamia, those of Sumeria, lay in the lowest, most water-rich areas of what is now southern Iraq. Irrigation could be fairly simple in this region, with each city-state probably building one irrigation system. The cities may have originally been administrative centers, marketing centers, and defensive centers related to local irrigation schemes: in other words, they were "irrigation cities".
Mesopotamian cities began forming around 3500 BCE, marking the rise of urbanization in the region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The civilization that developed in this area is commonly referred to as Sumer, known for its advancements in writing, architecture, and governance. The term "Mesopotamia" itself means "land between rivers" in Greek, highlighting its geographical significance.

The earliest cities in North America were built by indigenous societies such as the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Mississippian cultures. These societies developed complex urban centers with monumental architecture, organized infrastructure, and hierarchical social structures.
The Midwest developed agriculturally, and its earliest important industries processed natural resources. Both a large absolute and percentage increase in manufacturing employment occurred in cities between 1860 and 1920; all levels-the nation, belt, and each section of the belt-participated
It lasted for 2,000 years and was peaceful. They had South Asia's earliest writing system, planned cities, Metallurgy, agriculture and trade with Egypt and Sumer.
The period of history before a viable system of writing had developed was called the Neolithic, or New Stone Age, during the period civilization had greatly developed in agriculture and cities. The first and earliest form of writing involved the symbolic Sumerian cuneiform in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC, which occurred after the Neolithic time period of world history.
