Agriculture first developed during the Neolithic Era, around 12,000 BCE. The development of agriculture was a key factor in human societies ability to grow and develop into structures that are vaguely recognizable to modern humans.

A "cash crop" is an agricultural crop that is purposely made strictly to be sold in a market environment for as much money as possible. Most cash crops, which include cotton, opium, grains, and many other products, are grown in a monoculture environment, where they are the only product grown on a piece of land. By their nature, cash crops are not a form of subsistence farming, as they are always produced to be used beyond a grower's own home and family. Opium, for instance, is a great example of a cash crop because its purpose is purely recreational/for the profit of the sellers; there is no nutritional value to the crop.

Edge cities are secondary commercial centers of urban areas. Examples of edge cities include Mississauga (for Toronto) and Aurora (for Chicago). Cities that have been abandoned are colloquially known as "ghost towns." The other types of cities do not have specific names, and are not considered edge cities.

The defining feature of suburbs, and the appeal for many people who move to them, is that they are dominated by single-family houses. This means suburbs, outer districts of urban areas, have lower population density and higher overall per capita wealth. These factors also lead to better government services and higher quality of local education. Detached single-family housing is a massive draw for population groups with the income to sustain them.
