Abstract

This paper seeks a synthesis of the theoretical review over the so‑called civilizational process, and its cultural development concerning the urban phenomena in the ancient world. It aims to discuss the relationship between Gordon Childe’s qualitative list of Neolithic Revolution’s attributes, and its intrinsic relationship concerning the emergence of the cities and urbanization processes. Thus, we shall compare several models of occupations referred to as urban concerning the ancient Mediterranean, Mesoamerican and Andean worlds, discussing the main views on the historiography of some aspects of urban developmentsduring Andean Formative and Late periods and to the ancient Greek cities.
