1. Large size and high density of population:
The size of the urban community is much larger than the rural community. Not only this, in urban areas, there is high density of population. Density increases the number of short-term, impersonal and utilitarian social relationships a person is likely to have.
2. Heterogeneity:
Urban population is heterogeneous. It consists of various shades of people—different castes, classes, ethnic groups, religions, etc. They are not all alike. Urban community is noteworthy for its diversity.
3. Anonymity:
The sheer pressure of number marks for anonymity. Anonymity is a loss of identity and sense of belongingness. The heterogeneity of city life with its mixture of people of all races, castes, classes, creeds, occupations and ethnic origins heightens the sense of anonymity.
