Because people were more closer together in the city, people would have greater risk of 'catching' the Black Death. Alos, the cities were far more dirtier than in the country, so the rats would breed there, as well as the fleas that caused the Black Death
Yes, many were.

The Black Death began to spread when people started moving or visiting different towns and the people that were already sick would pass it on the the people in that town and then other people would move and go to a different town. That's how it started to spread by people moving that were already sick.The Black Death started in China and then spread through whole Central Asia and Middle East. It is believed that it entered Europe through sea trade routes in Italy, especially Venitian. They are numerous documents in Latin, Arabic and Chinese that has make scientists and historian able to track the spread of the disease and we are now well informed about it. In Europe, the Black Death killed around 30% of the whole population.
black death changed the ideology of people. It gave birth to many revolutions. Thus.
The largest area where the Black Death did not hit was parts of what are now Poland, Belarus, and the Ukraine. There was an area around Milan where the Black Death did not strike. It also did not get into the Pyrenees much. I have read that there were a number of towns where the Black Death did not hit in other places, including a large walled town in England where the gates were closed and the drawbridge raised, with the town treating the situation as though they were under siege. Unfortunately I cannot cite a source on this, as it was a long time ago that I read it. There is a link below to an animated map showing the spread of the Black Death in Europe.
It spread from Asia to Europe and was found in all towns and cities. It killed around 40-50% of all people living at that time.
Because it had the ability to sweep through towns and countries like wildfire.
about 2/3 of the popluation died, and it devastated the towns and cities. It inspired them to clean up the streets so the rodents would not have anywhere to live. The rodents are what caused the black death
Specifically the poor side of towns.
Due to the mass wipe in population, towns and other areas weren't as crowded as they used to be. Those who survived were able to obtain more land for farming. Also the people learned more about how diseases spread and they gained more knowledge in science.
Yes the black death did bring alot of good. The economy grew and the survivors had plenty of work to do ( rebuilding towns). these survivors could demand higher pay and did quite well
Black death is a bubonic plague disease that spread from victim to victim through fleas on rats, which lived throughout medieval towns and cities. The diseased person would quickly develop buboes which is swollen lymph glands and would get covered with dark blotches on the skin. The patient would get a high fever,vomit blood, and hallucintate. Most victims would die after one to three days.
