The nobles and church officials were not against towns. The church was often the very center of the town and many towns were built near a keep or fortress for protection. It was a natural thing to happen.

The forum was the civic centre of Roman towns, the heart of its political and judicial life. It had the senate house (Roman towns had a senate modelled on that of Rome) the offices of public officials, the courts and several of the town's temples. In smaller towns, the forum also hosted the main market. In the city of Rome the forum civilium (civic forum) and the fora venalia (the main marktes) were separate and there were several fora vanalia.
Armed British soldiers patrolled the streets of small towns in Boston primarily to enforce colonial laws and maintain order in response to rising tensions between the British government and American colonists. Their presence aimed to suppress protests against British policies, particularly after events like the Boston Massacre in 1770, which heightened animosity. The soldiers also sought to protect British officials and loyalists while asserting British authority in a growing atmosphere of resistance and unrest among colonists.

Yes. Churches and cathedrals were the main building in medieval towns and cities. The market square was usually built around them. Even today in cities and towns that existed in the medieval period you can see the basic layout of the city and streets from that time. --- The single distinguishing (as opposed to dominant) feature of a medieval town was the presence of a permanent market. A town could have more than one church, and when it did, it was sometimes the case that neither was really dominant. A village, by contrast, was usually dominated by its church, since it could have neither a permanent market nor a second church. A city was the site of a cathedral, and was usually dominated by it.
Nobles didn’t move to towns, but towns built up around the castles and manors.
Kings often hired tax collectors or agents to gather revenue from townspeople. These officials were responsible for assessing and collecting taxes, which were then used to fund the monarchy's expenses, including military campaigns and public works. In some cases, kings also used local nobles or appointed officials to manage these financial obligations on their behalf.

Increasing wealth in towns allowed for more elaborate and larger church buildings to be constructed. This led to the construction of cathedrals and other grand churches, with rich decorations and intricate architectural designs. The increase in wealth also contributed to the growth of church influence and power in society.
