According to hutter, mumford may overstate the importance of religion for the development of cities, but his ideas do point to the key role of ________ in the appearance of early cities.

Answer :

The key role of "social and cultural factors" in the appearance of early cities.

Social factors are things that influence way of life, for example, religion, family or riches. These can change after some time. Social factors envelop the arrangement of convictions, moral esteems, customs, dialect, and laws (or guidelines of conduct) held in like manner by a country, a group, or other characterized gathering of individuals.
