Cities are like puzzle pieces that change over time. Some start as small villages and grow into big, busy places with lots of streets and buildings. Others have special shapes because of the land around them, like mountains or rivers. Just like how you arrange your toys in different ways, cities use their space in many interesting ways.
Examples
- A city near the sea might grow long and narrow like a stripe of sand.
- A city built on a mountain might have streets that twist around hills like stairs.
- A city with no clear boundaries might look like a messy spiderweb.
