Urbanization
Urbanization, the accelerated growth of urban areas, is a transformative global phenomenon with profound implications for societies. As rural populations migrate to cities in search of economic opportunities, urbanization reshapes landscapes and cultures. This process is marked by the concentration of people, infrastructure, and resources, influencing the dynamics of employment, housing, and social interactions. The complexities of urbanization encompass both positive and negative aspects, posing challenges such as increased demand for services and environmental strains, while also fostering innovation and cultural exchange. Understanding the multifaceted nature of urbanization is essential in navigating the evolving fabric of our modern world.
