Question

1 Minute speech on urbanization for Asl class 11th

Answer 1

   Urbanization is the natural phenomenon of large population immigrates to one town gradually and continually over a period of time.  The town becomes a city and a mega city.  In India urban area means more than millions of people.  In western countries the number is much lower.  Due to rapid development in the country the industrial and political centers are urbanized.

 

   Urbanization is good for the economy in some senses.  Economy increases.  There is more employment.  Standard of earning increases.  The birthrate, death rate and fertility rates are less in urban areas.  Obviously it’s because of better medical facilities. Fertility decreases because of tensions and pressures faced by people.

 

     People live with better sanitation, water, electricity, education related facilities. Availability of good in the market is better.  Urban areas cause latest commutation modes to develop like metros etc.  In rural areas people do not have the basic amenities that an average city resident enjoys.  Urbanization makes competition among people.  This also indirectly enhances the performances.  However, rapid growth causes congestion and pollution too.

 

    In 1950s less than a billion lived in cities. Now nearly 4 billion people in the world live in urban areas.  Let’s say urbanization is good, as we all like it here.  But we also want a well planned expansion.  Hope the present and future authorities take care of that.

Answer 2

Urbanisation can be described as a process of development for improving the facilities made available to people. It has been one of the major changes taking place globally aiming for prosperity, development and increasing employement. India is one of the countries which has undergone a noticeable change in urbanisation. Though it has helped improve the conditions, it has brought about its disasvantages too. People are immigrating from the villages to these urban regions for employement and a quality life. This has not only increased the overall land use leading to destruction of fertile land but it has also increased the slum population which have been unable to find ways to improve their individual life conditions. Everything has two sides and this applies to urbanisation as well. But here, the advantages seem to dominate the problems. Urbanisation has helped improve medical and industrial conditions leading to development in the availabilty of jobs therby increasing the growth rate and GDP. This change has helped us to overcome a lot of problems in our cities and we hope that it continues to do so.
