Hers some reasons why there would be urban decay in Rome: • Centralization: demise of local authority-legionnaires were only loyal to their commanding officers

• State financial crisis-inflection was taking control of government

• Tyranny or autocracy-people keep over throwing the government

• Feminism and the shortage of real men

• Multiculturalism-with the expansion, they were getting a lot of cultures

• Depopulation- a lot of soldiers are going to war, so the killing was lowing the population
 * Many of the big buildings that the people loved were being destroyed because of the many civil wars. Those building were The Coliseum,

Here are Some questions I might ask:

How do the courses you teach, help students prevent urban decay in their future employment? What are some characteristics or criteria for a city to be considered "urban decay" Do you think that the cause of urban decay and poor city planning is more of an environmental, political, or human issue? In your experience, has there been one city in particular that has really excelled in city planning and preventing urban decay? What steps has the government to prevent any type of urban decay?
