Urban self-ordering enabled humans to relate to far larger numbers of others
Evidence
But in the city, the ways in which humans could know and thus deal with one another were extended. In the city, by ordering themselves, humans made it possible to live with and relate to larger and larger numbers of other humans. In the city, the parochial tribalist died. In the city, the sophisticated cosmopolitan was born. — Lyn H. Lofland, World of Strangers_ Order and Action in…, 138
