Summary/Abstract: Cities – as ultimate human artifacts of history - have always been forged in areas where natural resources and the social structures that will process these resources overlap in the early periods of their historical formation. The first settlements were formed close to water resources, the first source of natural resources. The building was formed in the nearby walls of forests, which are the basic elements for production, soil, masonry, stone artifacts and wood/timber stocks that can be used as building materials of security fortifications/buildings and heating infrastructure. As the habitats of mankind, cities have established structures around these source-production-labor cycles starting from the first ages.
