“Why do organizations and companies die while cities seem to live on? Why did the Western Roman Empire end in 476 A.D while the Eastern counterpart lasted for almost another 1,000 years? Although both Empires fell, many of the cities in both have continued to the present. Why? While the answers can be approached on multiple levels: cosmological, theological, physical, political, etc., this essay will only focus on the social, the level which we can tangibly experience and possibly influence.” (07/02/25)
