Delve into the complex interplay of agents—individuals, firms, and governments—within urban settings through the 5Cs framework presented by David Levinson.

Analyze the roles of competitors and complementors in shaping available resources and chances. Explore fundamental questions about urban existence, such as what constitutes a city, the significance of networks, and the reasons behind the growth and importance of particular urban areas like the Twin Cities and Chicago.
