What is Urbanization? ||Urbanization is a process whereby populations move from rural || ||to urban area, enabling cities and towns to grow. It can also be|| ||termed as the progressive increase of the number of people living || ||in towns and cities. It is highly influenced by the notion that cities || ||and towns have achieved better economic, political, and social || ||mileages compared to the rural areas.||

What is the main cause of urbanisation? ||- Rural to urban migration is happening on a massive scale due || ||to population pressure and lack of resources in rural areas.|| ||- People living in rural areas are "PULLED" to the city. Often they || ||believe that the standard of living in urban areas will be much better || ||in urban areas.|| ||- Natural increase caused by a decrease in death rates while birth || ||rates remain high.||

Urbanisation is the process by which urban areas grow bigger as more and more people leave the countryside to live in towns and cities. Before the 1950s, urbanisation mainly occurred in more economically developed countries (MEDCs). Rapid urbanisation happened during the period of industrialisation in Europe and North America in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A lot of people left their home villages for urban areas hoping to find jobs in the rapidly expanding industries in big towns and cities. Since 1950s urbanisation has become slower in most MEDCs. Now, some of the biggest cities are losing population because people go back to live in rural areas. This is known as counter-urbanisation. Since 1950, urbanisation has grown rapidly in LEDCs (Less Economically Developed Countries) in Africa and South America. Between 1950 and 1990 while the urban population in LEDCs doubled, increase was less than half in developed countries.

There are various causes of urbanisation in LEDCs. Here are some major ones. First, people migrate to urban areas on a massive scale due to lack of res in rural areas. Second, small farmers find it h to make a living not just because of bad we conditions such as drought, floods, or storms, because they can't compete with large agricultural companies. These are considered ‘push’ factors. People living in rural areas are also ‘pulled’ to cities, which are known to be places of financial ce services, wealth and opportunities. Believing that standard of living in urban areas will be higher in rural areas, many people come to the city seeking their fortune. Today, about half of the world's population in urban areas. Urbanisation has provided opportunities, higher incomes and better access to health facilities and education. The urban population will continue to grow and it is expected that proportion will increase to 70% by 2050.

Đô thị hóa là quá trình trong đó khu vực đô thị phát triển rộng lớn hơn khi ngày càng nhiều người dân rời khỏi vùng nông thôn đến sống ở các thị trấn và thành phố. Trước những năm 1950, đô thị hóa chủ yếu xảy ra ở nhiều quốc gia phát triển về kinh tế (MEDCs). đô thị hóa nhanh chóng xảy ra trong thời kỳ công nghiệp ở châu Âu và Bắc Mỹ trong thế kỷ XIX và đầu XX . Rất nhiều người rời quê hương của họ đến với khu vực đô thị hy vọng tìm được việc làm trong các ngành công nghiệp phát triển ở các thị trấn và thành phố lớn. Kể từ năm 1950 đô thị hóa đã trở nên chậm hơn trong hầu hết các MEDCs. Bây giờ, một số thành phố lớn nhất đang mất dân vì trở lại sống ở khu vực nông thôn. Điều này được gọi là phản đô thị hóa. Kể từ năm 1950, đô thị hóa đã phát triển nhanh chóng trong LEDCs (Quốc gia kém phát triển hơn về kinh tế) ở châu Phi và Nam Mỹ. Giữa năm 1950 và 1990 trong khi dân số đô thị ở LEDCs gấp đôi, trong các nước phát triển lại tăng ít hơn một nửa.

Có nhiều nguyên nhân khác nhau của đô thị hóa ở LEDCs. Dưới đây là một số nguyên nhân lớn. Đầu tiên, người di chuyển đến các khu vực đô thị trên quy mô lớn do thiếu nguồn lực ở các khu vực nông thôn. Thứ hai, nông dân cảm thấy khó khăn hơn để kiếm sống không chỉ thời tiết xấu như hạn hán, lũ lụt, bão, mà còn bởi vì họ không thể cạnh tranh với các công ty nông nghiệp lớn. Đây được coi là yếu tố 'đẩy'. Người dân sống ở khu vực nông thôn cũng được 'đẩy' tới các thành phố, được biết đến là trung tâm dịch vụ tài chính, tài sản và cơ hội. Tin tưởng rằng mức sống ở các khu vực đô thị sẽ cao hơn ở nông thôn, nhiều người đến với thành phố tìm kiếm vận may của họ. Ngày nay, khoảng một nửa dân số thế giới trong khu vực đô thị. Đô thị hóa đã cung cấp những cơ hội, thu nhập cao hơn và tiếp cận tốt hơn tới cơ sở y tế và giáo dục. Dân số đô thị sẽ tiếp tục phát triển và dự kiến tỷ lệ đó sẽ tăng lên 70% vào năm 2050.

- Economy: Urbanisation leads to fast economic growth in my area, which provides jobs for thousands of people. - Sociology: Urbanisation promotes higher living standard in my area. People have money to build high and modern houses and get easier access to good health care, high-qualified education service, etc. - Environment: Urbanisation results in polluted rivers and lakes in my area. People suffer from unpleasant smells from factories' chimneys and drink toxic water from dirty rivers.
