Boomtowns

Boomtowns are rapidly growing communities that develop quickly due to sudden economic opportunities, often stemming from industries like mining, oil, or technology. This rapid growth attracts many workers and businesses, leading to a swift increase in population and infrastructure. While they can experience prosperity and expansion, boomtowns often face challenges like resource strain, housing shortages, and social tensions. Their development is usually driven by immediate economic demands rather than long-term planning, making their growth dynamic but sometimes unstable.
