Gotham city?


Is this an image of Gotham city? Look carefully.

Gotham city/ Settlement



On December 1st, as we were having our classes on AIDS' day, a student asked me why we were doing that, he said it had nothing to do with Geography. My final answer was that Geography means asking questions about the world around us
In this new topic we can ask a very basic question Why is this city/village there?
Let's do it with Gotham. Why was Gotham built there? Can you see any similarities to other cities? Why are there skyscrappers in Gotham? And why is crime an issue in Gotham?
