Urbanization and Economic Development

Urbanization refers to the process where more people move from rural areas to cities, seeking better job opportunities, education, and services. This shift can drive economic development, as cities often concentrate resources, innovation, and infrastructure. However, rapid urbanization can also lead to challenges like overcrowding, inadequate housing, and increased demand on public services. In the context of population and development, effective planning and investment are essential to ensure that urban growth translates into improved living standards and sustainable economic growth, benefiting both individuals and communities.
