Each city is treated separately to cull facts to prove its autonomy at least for a certain period. The Middle East was the first region to develop cities and then empires in ancient times. Furthermore, the Islamic world was the first to transform ancient political or farmer cities to economic and industrial ones consisting of notables and plebeians, followed by China, then parts of Western Europe.Islamic history and civilization ;Volume 128.Islamic EmpireHistorical geographyIslamic EmpireAutonomous communitiesBaghdad (Iraq)HistoryDamascus (Syria)HistoryAleppo (Syria)HistoryCórdoba (Spain)HistoryToledo (Spain)HistoryValencia (Spain)HistoryTunis (Tunisia)HistoryElectronic books.956/.014091732Amabe Fukuzo1066359MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910511679103321Urban Autonomy in Medieval Islam2549053UNINA
