Causes And Effects Of Urbanization
Urbanization is growing in both less- developed and more developed countries.
Urbanization is the shift from a rural to an urban society, bringing a large concentration of
people into towns and cities. This process usually occurs when a nation is still developing. The
trend toward urbanization is a worldwide phenomena. The chief cause of global urbanization is
the new economic opportunities it brings to people and governments; however, it has both
positive and negative effects on society.
Urbanization has many adverse effects on the structure of society as gigantic concentrations of
people compete for limited resources. Rapid housing construction leads to overcrowding and
slums, which experience major problems such as poverty, poor sanitation, unemployment and
high crime rates. Additionally, strains on important natural resources, such as water supply,
leads to higher prices and general environmental sustainability problems.
Urbanization makes people dependent on others for basic necessities; urban-dwellers must rely
on the rural hinterland for agricultural production, for instance, because city residents do not
have enough land to grow their own food. Urban-dwellers suffer the psychological degradation
that comes from depending on other people to accomplish the activities of daily life, from
transportation to education to entertainment.
Urbanization offers real economic opportunities to people who would otherwise be destined to
subsistence living without hope for economic improvement. There is an overall growth in
commercial opportunities with urbanization, resulting in more profits and more jobs. As the
economy grows, all of society benefits from internal improvements.
