Question

Why and how urbanisation developed in the society.

Answer 1

Urbanization occurs either organically or planned as a result of individual, collective and state action. Living in a city can be culturally and economically beneficial since it can provide greater opportunities for access to the labor market, reduce the time and expense of commuting and transportation better education, housing and safety conditions. Condition like density, proximity, diversity, and marketplace competition are elements of an urban environment that deemed positive. However, there are also negative social phenomena that arise, alienation, stress, increased cost of living, and mass marginalization that are connected to an urban way of living. Suburbanization, which is happening in the cities of the largest developing countries, may be regarded as an attempt to balance these negative aspects of urban life while still allowing access to the large extent of shared resources.

Answer 2

There are two reasons for development of urbanization:

First: natural increase in population.

Second: migration of people from rural to urban areas

Cities and towns have better life standards. For instance, they have good roads, better education, living standards are higher along with many other facilities which cannot be found in rural areas. Moreover, opportunities for higher value jobs are found in urban areas whereas in rural areas, farming is probably the main lifeline which yields limited profits.

To spend a life with a better standard, people shift to urban areas. In this way, urbanization developed.
