Last week, Ms. Hoffman asked why certain cities were built in their locations. The answer she heard in the cities is that they were built along rivers. Every major city in Central Europe was built by a river. Why do you think it is important to be near a river?
If you said for water, you are right!
But what about for transportation and trade? Do you think those could be reasons too?
Ms. Hoffman has traveled to even more cities now, and she has found more that are near the ocean and rivers. Do you think this is important?? Is your city near a river or ocean? If not, why do you think they built your city where it is?
Here are maps of some other cities Ms. Hoffman visited:
Zagreb, Croatia
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
