english: The Roman Empire was able to develop infrastructure to overcome these limitations, but other than that, modern cities as we know them, didn't really get their start until the Industrial Revolution, when new technology deployed on a mass scale allowed cities to expand and integrate further, establishing police, fire, and sanitation departments, as well as road networks, and later electricity distribution.
non_english: Rimskom carstvu uspelo je da napravi infrastrukturu koja prevazilazi ova ograničenja, ali inače, moderni gradovi kakve poznajemo nisu to uspeli sve do Industrijske revolucije kada je visoka tehnologija počela da se koristi masovno, omogućujući gradovima da se dalje šire i integrišu, da uvedu policiju, vatrogasce i zdravstvene ustanove, kao i mreže puteva i kasnije, distribuciju struje.
