4 Tomasevich mentions another factor which limited the role of urban centers and which is typical of underdeveloped areas: most towns were not of economic origin and did not develop on the basis of an agglomeration of industry, as was the case in Western Europe and the United States. Rather, they grew out of ancient and medieval townships and fortresses (pp. 174–75).
