Towns growth - whether in the middle ages or in the present day - for the simple reason that more people come to live in towns, and more industries are located in the towns(or near the towns).
It's was to do a lot with available land for housings and for the growth of industries.
In the middle ages, towns inland grew. As well as seaports, because people moved into the towns to produce and sell their crafts, their goods, their skills.
They needed places to live, and this is where it gets interesting. Originally, the Lord of the Manor would have a wall around his castle, and only the members of his household were allowed inside. So people would set up market stalls along the castle walls. Eventually, they began building huts and shelters there, and moved into them.
Gradually, this spread out and soon they were building permanent homes outside the castle wall. by living close to the castle they were more or less given protection by the standing army of that particular Lord.
