One of the reasons a city succeeds is because it is placed in a good geographical location. Cities located as central hubs of trade and travel, defensibility, access to water or other natural resources tend to succeed. Geography plays a large role in the success of a city. Railroad, shipping, flight, or other travel hubs tend to flourish. Cities that are centers of industry also help them succeed and grow. Cities with good climates also help them flourish. Room and land for a city to expand helps it grow and succeed. Ease of immigration and relocation help a city to succeed. Where multiple factors listed above are present, the chance that a particular city will flourish and succeed increases.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"Success of Cities\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_GUi7v1rExE8\"><div id=\"lyte_GUi7v1rExE8\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FGUi7v1rExE8%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\">Success of Cities<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/GUi7v1rExE8\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FGUi7v1rExE8%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Success of Cities\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:420px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Success of Cities &#8211; Why Do Some Cities Flourish More Than Others?
