Maya cities were the centres of population of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization of Mesoamerica. They served the specialised roles of administration, commerce, manufacturing and religion that characterised ancient cities worldwide. Maya cities tended to be more dispersed than cities in other societies, even within Mesoamerica, as a result of adaptation to a lowland tropical environment that allowed food production amidst areas dedicated to other activities. They lacked the grid plans of the highland cities of central Mexico, such as Teotihuacán and Tenochtitlan. Maya kings ruled their kingdoms from palaces that were situated within the centre of their cities. Cities tended to be located in places that controlled trade routes or that could supply essential products. This allowed the elites

  • Le città maya furono i luoghi nei quali si concentrò la popolazione della civiltà precolombiana dei Maya in Mesoamerica. Esse svolgevano i ruoli specializzati dei centri dell'amministrazione, del commercio, della produzione e della religione tipici delle città antiche di tutto il mondo. Le città maya tendevano ad essere più sparse delle città di altre società, anche all'interno della Mesoamerica, come conseguenza dell'adattamento a un ambiente tropicale di bassopiano che permetteva la produzione alimentare in mezzo ad aree dedicate ad altre attività. Esse non avevano la disposizione a scacchiera delle città degli altopiani del Messico centrale, come Teotihuacán e Tenochtitlán. I re maya governavano i loro regni da palazzi che erano situati dentro il centro delle loro città. Le città a loro (it)
  • Mayasteden waren bevolkingscentra van de precolumbiaanse Mayabeschaving in Meso-Amerika. Deze steden vervulden dezelfde functies als andere historische steden op het gebied van bestuur, handel, productie en religie.Mayaheersers regeerden vanuit paleizen die zich in het centrum van de stad bevonden. Steden bevonden zich veelal op plaatsen die handelsroutes beheersten of die essentiële producten konden leveren. Dankzij deze gunstige ligging konden de elites die de handel controleerden hun rijkdom en status vergroten. De heersers van dergelijke steden waren in staat om tempels te bouwen voor openbare ceremonies, waardoor meer inwoners naar de stad werden getrokken. De steden die een gunstige ligging voor voedselproductie combineerden met de controle over handelsroutes, ontwikkelden zich vaak (nl)
