Ans. Before discussing that towns are important for the progress of civilization, we should first know what civilization is.
Civilization is the sum total of the higher activities performed by mankind up to our own age. Safety and order are two necessary factors for the progress of any civilization.
In town people are using different machines for their comfort. Here are people who are engaged in inventing machines. Scientists are busy in finding more and more things. They are making machines which are our extra limbs. Here men are restless and energetic to find out something. Now-a-days machines have become tools of civilization. Modern men have better medical facilities, They lead healthier and longer lives than in the past. In town by making more beautiful things, finding out more and more about the mysterious universe, removing the causes of conflicts and quarrels between nations, discovering new methods of preventing poverty, human beings can make their civilization great and most lasting. These are the ways for the progress of civilization.
