Urban Transition

Urban transition refers to the process by which societies shift from predominantly rural, agricultural lifestyles to urban, city-based living. This transformation involves population movement from countryside to cities, driven by factors like economic opportunities, industrialization, and better services. It results in increased urban infrastructure, changes in social and economic structures, and the growth of cities as centers of commerce, culture, and innovation. Urban transition reflects broader development trends and often leads to improved living standards, though it also presents challenges such as congestion, pollution, and the need for sustainable urban planning.
