Paragraph list

In order to fully understand each of these aspects of a city, urban geography represents a combination of many other fields within geography.
An urban geographer's main role is to emphasize location and space and study the spatial processes that create patterns observed in urban areas.
Physical geography, for example, is important in understanding why a city is located in a specific area as environmental conditions play a large role in whether or not a city develops.
To do this, they study the site, classification, evolution and growth of cities.

First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of urban geography. It explains what an urban geographer does without needing other sentences for context. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. Why other lines are not chosen? The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not stand alone. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with "To do this," which is a conjunction. Paragraph 3 uses "In order to fully understand," which needs context. Paragraph 4 starts with "Physical geography," which refers back to the topic without introducing it.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the discussion by providing an example of how geography affects cities. It summarizes the importance of physical geography in urban studies.
