How after the fall of the Roman empire the towns began to grow again?

Answer

The towns of the Romans Empire had become deserted and ruined after its fall. But from the eleventh century, as agriculture increased and became able to sustain higher levels of population, towns began to grow again.

Peasants who had surplus grain to sell needed a place where they could set up a selling centre and where they could buy tools and cloth. This led to the growth of periodic fairs and small marketing centres which gradually developed town - like features - a town square, a church, roads where merchants built shops and homes, an office where those who governed the town could meet.

In other places, towns grew around large castles, bishops’ estates, or large churches.
