Urbanization Process

Urbanization is the process by which more people move from rural areas to cities, resulting in the growth and expansion of urban areas. This shift often occurs due to economic opportunities, better access to services, and improved living conditions in cities. As populations increase, cities evolve, changing social interactions, cultural dynamics, and lifestyles. Urban social geography studies these changes, examining how they affect communities, neighborhoods, and the environment, and highlighting issues like housing, transportation, and inequality that arise as cities grow. This process shapes our everyday lives and influences societal structures in profound ways.
