Urban Demography

Urban demography, within the field of spatial demography, studies the populations and characteristics of people living in cities and urban areas. It examines factors like population size, density, growth, migration patterns, age distribution, and socio-economic status. By analyzing these elements, urban demography helps us understand how cities change over time, the impact of urbanization, and the challenges faced by urban areas, such as housing, transportation, and public services. This knowledge is vital for effective city planning and policy-making to improve the quality of life for residents.
