43:100 The City Born Great by N.K. Jemisin

Human habitations start out small, they turn into town, and then maybe into cities.  Once a city is big enough though, it must be born through the efforts a midwife who will sing it into being.  It's a sacred trust as there are forces out there that can't stand the thought of new life being created and will do everything possible to stop it and the midwives are few and do not always know their own power.

An interesting concept and world building short story.
