Answer:
Most of the cities in developed countries are well planned and have regular shapes, whereas those in the developing countries grow haphazardly and have an irregular shape. Cities in the developed countries have access to the basic amenities of life like clean drinking water, electricity, public transport etc. whereas those in developing countries live with acute shortage of basic amenities that results in slums and squalor settlements. Moreover developed countries also provide with pollution free clean environment whereas developing countries are marked by population congestion. Towns and cities are classified into the following categories based on their functions. Administrative Towns, National capitals, which house the administrative offices of central governments, such as New Delhi, Washington D.C. and London etc. are called administrative centres. Trading and Commercial Towns, Agricultural market towns, such as, Winnipeg and Kansas city; banking and financial centres like Frankfurt and Amsterdam; large inland centres like Manchester and St Louis; and transport nodes such as, Lahore, Baghdad and Agra have been important trading centres. Cultural Towns, places of pilgrimage, such as Jerusalem, Mecca, Puri and Varanasi etc. are considered cultural towns. These urban centres are of great religious importance. Additional functions, which the cities perform, are health and recreation (Miami and Panaji), industrial (Pittsburgh and Jamshedpur), mining and quarrying (Broken Hill and Dhanbad).
