During the Middle Ages, the growth of towns weakened the feudal system in several crucial ways. For one thing, it shifted the focus-point for communities from the feudal manor to the local town itself, which was becoming more and more important. For another thing, the wealth of the small but growing "middle class" gave them more and more power with which to use as a new, independent force in the governance of lands once solely governed by the feudal lords.
Urban sprawl.
True; yes they did.
Population growth generally (urban population growth involved people migrating from the countryside); urban self-government and protection of crafts through guilds; increased trade; growth of public administration; generally more settled conditions and improved security.
usually Medieval Towns were part of a kingdom that is ruled by a king. So, technically a king ruled the Medieval Towns ----- In the earlier Middle Ages, the towns were largely under the control of the local lords, who answered to monarchs. But the local lords often lost control of the towns, as merchant and craft groups became stronger, which began in the Early Middle Ages. In the later parts of the Middle Ages, the political power in towns was often held by guilds or groups of guilds acting together. Some towns and cities, called communes, had republican governments. Some were independent of any monarch, and this was especially true in Italy. Others, though locally republican, were at least nominally subject to a king or emperor.
Yes
Feudal systems depended on people working the land, paying for protection, & being dependent. Towns provided more autonomy. call chon 19562727668
A Strong Central Government
Medieval society no longer centered around the castle. The towns and cities (population centers) grew.

The "feudal system" (or what we call the feudal system), was based on a system of lords and vassals. I lord gave out a fief, a income producing territory (sometimes a land to grow crops on, sometimes a road with permission to tax it), and that created loyalty to the lord in return for protection. The agricultural revolution led to a boom in population and because of that, these rural estates ran by lords could no longer support every child being born, so there was an urbanization that took place during this time. As a result, towns could produce goods outside of the essentials for survival and they became the center of economy. The majority of the population remained farmers, but the center of an area shifted from the rural estate to that of the city. As a result, lords lost a lot of the power they had had under the "feudal system" and the royalty began to regain a lot of the control they had lost during the rural based system some still call the "feudal system

they developed the agriculture lead growth to the villages and towns
Kings began to support the new towns in exchange for money. They agreed to protect towns and made laws to help towns grow rich. Then, with the money paid by townspeople, kings hired armies and used them to attack troublesome nobles.
No, the manorial system actually contributed to the growth of cities and towns by providing a foundation for trade and economic activity. Manors were often located near towns and cities, where goods could be bought, sold, and exchanged. Overall, the manorial system and urban centers were interdependent and supportive of each other.
