Some cities get richer because they have more things people want. Imagine two towns: one has a big market where lots of people come to buy and sell, and the other is just a small village with only a few shops. The town with the big market grows faster because it brings in more money and jobs for its people. That’s how cities become rich or poor.
Examples
- A city that loses its main factory may struggle as jobs disappear and people leave.
- A town with great schools attracts families, who help the local economy grow.
