Major internal migrations include rural to urban migration, westward expansion in the US and Brazil, and northward movement in Australia and Canada. In the US, migration has been westward, southward to the Sunbelt, and from urban to rural areas in the 1970s. Pew Center maps show changing internal migration patterns over time between regions. Urbanization involves both increasing urban populations and the percentage living in cities, which is usually higher in more developed countries though Latin America and the Middle East have grown to similar levels. Rapid urbanization in less developed countries is driven by rural to urban migration due to economic and environmental factors as well as population growth and access to information.
