With these aspects, at the such points as urban, urbanization, citizenship, etc., it plays an active part in constituting web of relations that will correspond to the newly citizens relations with the city, their requests of adaptation to the city and of establishing integrity. In this text dwelt upon effect of coffehouses to the processes of holding on the city by newly citizens in the urbanization process.
