Urban centres emerged due to many reasons during the medieval era. They popped around the power centres or the administrative towns where the king and his officers lived. Temple towns were another feature of urbanisation. They supported many non-agricultural jobs around them. Similarly, port towns and commercial centres supported artisans and traders.
