The two effects of the agricultural revolution that led to the development of cities are:
-
A food surplus and a population boom – The agricultural revolution allowed for more efficient food production, leading to surplus food supplies, which in turn supported larger populations.
-
Specialized labor leading to new inventions – With a stable food supply, not everyone needed to be involved in food production, allowing people to specialize in various trades and professions, which contributed to technological advancements and the growth of complex societies.
