Answer:

 Most reasons are self-explanatory. Clearly, you'll need access to water for drinking. Location near to a large body of water is also useful for transportation and trade. Local access to a plethora of natural resources is obviously also highly beneficial, you need this stuff to build cities.

Explanation:

Towns began to develop along river valleys, where water was available. There were some important reasons for this. The land along the rivers is fertile. If there is fertile land, then crops can be grown.

Cities:
Xelga [282]

Answer and Explanation:

Civilization will be established around a territory with the presence of an extensive river. This area was chosen for presenting environmental advantages for the establishment of civilization. This is because regions around rivers usually present soil with high fertility, which will be extremely important for the establishment of agriculture, allowing civilization to have enough to feed itself and establish a trade that will stabilize the economy. The river will be used as a water source for irrigation of agricultural crops and for consumption. In addition, fishing can strengthen trade and food.

Civilization will organize itself into small villages that will be enlarged as needed. In the middle of the territory will be the leader's house, which will be established in the center to represent the leader's power and control in people's lives. On the right side of this house, there will be a temple where offerings will be offered to the gods. Around time there will be the priests' house and the citizens' houses will be established in the rest of the region, with the noblers living closer to the leader.

My house consists of a square made of mud walls and covered with straw. My house is closer to the river as I am a farmer and it is close to the river that farmers live.
