Today, half the people in the world live in cities. In Europe this number is even higher: about 70%.
This was very different at the beginning of the Early Middle Ages. Many Roman cities had been destroyed. Europe had turned into an agricultural society.
After the year 1000 this changed. During the Late Middle Ages, Europe recovered. International trade returned and people began to live in cities again.
