What works behind the scenes to make a city perform as such?

Cities do not exist on their own, but are a part of the greater whole.When you think of Rome, you think of history, of the Pantheon, the Colosseum, and the Vatican. You think of Vespas, streets of cobblestone, delicious Italian food, and a very popular tourist sites. But I am sure that when you think of Rome, you do not think about what keeps the city running. While all great cities have their own identity, none of these cities exist entirely on their own. They depend on resources and the connections that they have with the rest of the world. Italy is highly dependent on energy imports and would not be able to function in the same way without them. Rome’s transportation, commerce, residential and industrial systems would not be capable of performing if it weren’t for the energy production that is so often overlooked. While Italy does produce some of its own energy in what seems to be a “behind the scenes” situation, there is a whole other level that of “behind the scenes” that spreads throughout the world, all coming together as one in order to make a single city operate.
