Urbanization impacts
1 like1,246 views
Urbanization is the increase in the proportion of people living in cities and is occurring as people migrate from rural to urban areas as countries develop. This document discusses the causes, effects, and impacts of urbanization. The causes include population pressure in rural areas, belief of better standards of living in cities, and natural population increase. The impacts include economic, political, social, cultural, and environmental factors affecting cities as well as socio-cultural and socio-economic impacts on surrounding rural areas and within cities. While urbanization provides benefits like economic growth and services, it also leads to issues like pollution, poverty, overcrowding, and infrastructure challenges.

Urbanization refers to the migration of people from rural to urban areas in search of jobs, opportunities, and improved living conditions for their families. People are pulled to cities by the availability of infrastructure, jobs, education, healthcare and entertainment. They are pushed from rural areas due to lack of these resources and facilities. However, rapid urbanization leads to problems like overcrowding, unemployment, increased crime rates, pollution, and the development of slums. These issues can be addressed by controlling urban population growth and developing rural communities and infrastructure to discourage migration.Urbanization

The document discusses the environmental impacts of industrialization and urbanization. It notes that industrialization places tremendous pressure on the environment through pollution from industrial effluents, degraded air quality, and greenhouse gas emissions. Rapid urbanization also strains waste disposal and sanitation systems. Issues like traffic congestion, noise pollution, water contamination, and proliferation of slums degrade urban environmental quality. The quality of the urban environment in India specifically is impacted by issues like acute housing shortages, overflowing solid waste, air pollution from vehicles and industries, and river pollution from untreated industrial discharge.Causes of Urbanisation

The document discusses urbanization and its causes and processes. It defines urbanization as the increasing percentage of a population living in cities and suburbs. The main causes of urbanization discussed are natural population growth, internal migration from rural to urban areas, and international migration. The processes of urbanization include a rise in the urban population numbers and percentage, more urban centers, socioeconomic changes, and urban land expansion. Levels of urbanization and their indicators like infrastructure, health, literacy rates and female labor participation in various countries are also examined.Urbanization

Urbanization is defined as the process of villages converting into urban or cities. It occurs when certain population and density thresholds are met, such as a population over 5,000 people or a density over 400 people per square kilometer. Factors contributing to urban population growth include natural increase, internal rural-to-urban migration, international urban migration, and reclassification of boundaries. While urbanization has positive impacts such as facilitating information diffusion and reducing costs of service delivery, it also has negative impacts including increased urban poverty, inequality, and the rise of slums housing 30-50% of urban populations in developing countries.Urban Development

Industrialization and urbanization have significantly impacted the social lives of workers in India. Traditional joint families have broken down and become smaller as people migrate to cities for jobs. Caste and religion have also become less important as social mobility has increased. New forms of entertainment have emerged to fill leisure time as families have gotten smaller. However, rapid urbanization has also created problems like overcrowded slums with poor sanitation, traffic congestion, waste management issues and inadequate water and sewerage systems in cities.Urbanisation in developing countries

Urbanization in developing countries faces several challenges related to poverty. Housing is inadequate, with many families living in crowded, unsanitary slums lacking basic amenities. Public services are also lacking, as there are few schools and hospitals, and public transportation is overcrowded. Issues of water supply, sanitation, and health are severe, with limited access to clean water and high rates of diseases. Employment opportunities are limited, with many working long hours in informal or factory jobs under poor conditions or unemployed. Crime is an issue due to lack of law enforcement and consequences of poverty.Impacts of Urbanization

Urbanization is the shift from rural to urban living with large populations concentrating in cities. Currently over 3.3 billion people live in urban areas, expected to grow to 5 billion by 2030, with most growth in Asia and Africa. In 1800 only 2% of the world's population was urban, but by 1950 it was 40% and is predicted to reach 60% by 2030. Urbanization was boosted by the Industrial Revolution in Europe and USA in the 18th-19th centuries and spread to Asia in the 20th century and Africa in the late 20th century. Australia is the most urbanized country currently.Urbanization: A Theoretical View (Perspectives, growth, cause and problems)

This document discusses the concepts of urbanism and urbanization. Urbanism is defined as the sociological study of life and human interaction in metropolitan areas, as well as the role of cities in societal development. It originated from the work of sociologists like Marx, Tonnies, Durkheim, Weber and Simmel. The Chicago School further developed sociological theories of urbanism. Urbanization refers to the phenomenon of rural to urban migration and the factors driving this migration. The document examines elements that define an area as "urban" and discusses early urban sociologists' framing of symbolic interaction in urban settings. It provides an overview of sociologist George Simmel's work on the impacts of city life on mental life andProblems of Urbanisation
Problems of UrbanisationPushkin1799

Urbanization refers to an increase in the proportion of people living in urban areas compared to rural areas. As countries industrialize, more people migrate from rural to urban areas for employment in factories. This led to the development of inner cities with dense rows of terraced housing for workers.
Urbanization can cause problems like congestion, lack of housing, and environmental issues. Many cities also have sharp inequalities in housing, health, and employment. Some try to escape these problems through counter-urbanization or moving to the edges of cities. Long-term solutions involve making cities more sustainable.Urbanisation

1. Urbanization has increased dramatically over the last 200 years as the number of people living in urban areas and the land occupied by cities has grown.
2. In 1800, only 2 cities had over 1 million residents but by 2000 that number had grown to 311 cities as populations shifted from rural to urban areas.
3. The distribution of the largest cities has also changed significantly over time, with Asia growing to dominate the list of the top 100 largest cities in 2000 after previously being led by Europe and North America in 1900.Rural Urban Migration

This document discusses rural-urban migration in the Philippines. It defines urbanization as the increase in urban population of a country or area. Rural-urban migration is one of the most significant patterns, as people move from countryside to cities in search of opportunities. The major causes of rural-urban migration are identified as search for better wages, education, employment opportunities, and escape from poverty and unemployment in rural areas. As more people migrate to urban areas, it puts pressure on housing, jobs, and the environment. The government should provide services and jobs in rural areas to reduce migration to cities.L2 the causes of urbanisation

Rural-urban migration is increasing urbanization globally. People migrate from rural to urban areas due to push factors in rural areas like lack of jobs, poverty, and poor infrastructure as well as pull factors of the city like more jobs and economic opportunities, improved standards of living, and access to services. Urbanization grew rapidly in now-developed countries during industrialization as people moved to cities for factory and mine jobs. In poorer countries today, high fertility rates and natural increase in cities also contribute to urban growth, as do cities being centers of industry and opportunity.Urbanization

Feminist geography examines how gender relations and identities are shaped by and shape the spaces and places in which we live. It considers how assumptions about gender have influenced the discipline of geography itself and how spaces like the home, workplace, and streets are gendered. Early feminist geography sought to include women's experiences in geographical research, while later approaches examined how spaces construct and reinforce gender norms. Theorists discuss how dualisms between mind/body and nature/culture have been used to portray women's bodies and roles as inferior. Studies also show how gender influences the use of spaces like greater restrictions on women's comportment in public and expectations of domesticity.Urban settlements

Urbanization refers to the increasing proportion of people living in urban areas. It occurs due to rural-to-urban migration as populations increase and resources become scarce in rural areas, pushing people to cities where they believe living standards will be higher. Urbanization has major economic, social, cultural, and environmental impacts. It encourages changes in social and family structures, increases pollution and waste production, and places growing pressure on infrastructure and housing. While cities improve economies and facilitate cultural sharing, urbanization also leads to issues like unemployment, poverty, and the rise of slums if not properly managed.India City Competitiveness Report 2012

Water pollution is a major global problem that causes thousands of deaths daily. It occurs when pollutants from sources like sewage, industrial waste, and household waste contaminate rivers, lakes and oceans without adequate treatment. Common causes include disease-causing pathogens, thermal pollution from power plants, and organic and inorganic chemical waste from industries and food processing. Groundwater is also at risk of pollution from chemical spills and ongoing releases that seep into aquifers from the soil above. Measures to control water pollution include proper waste disposal, industrial effluent treatment, use of sewage treatment plants, reducing fertilizer use, and regular water quality monitoring.Effects of water pollution
Effects of water pollutionAdarsh Bimod

Water pollution occurs through dumping of industrial waste, sewage, and toxic agricultural substances into bodies of water. It affects agriculture by contaminating crops and soil fertility. Ecosystems are damaged as pollution warms water and forces species to relocate. Human health is impacted through skin problems, cancer, and sickness from swimming in or drinking contaminated water. Animal health suffers as pollution kills dependent wildlife. Treating polluted water for safe use is an expensive economic burden.Pollution causes, effects and solutions

Urbanization refers to an increase in the proportion of people living in urban areas compared to rural areas. While urbanization creates job opportunities and advances technology and infrastructure, it can also lead to issues like lack of sanitation, poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, and pollution. Rapid and unplanned urbanization can quickly result in urban violence and social unrest as the high cost of living in cities can trap people in poverty. Both small businesses and agriculture are negatively impacted as markets shift due to urbanization. Careful control of urban growth is needed to balance development and environmental protection.Concept, Meaning and Impact of Urbanization and Industrialization
Concept, Meaning and Impact of Urbanization and IndustrializationRaulRajBasnet

Urbanization refers to the population shift from rural to urban areas and the increase in the proportion of people living in urban environments. It impacts include both positive and negative effects. Positively, it increases efficiency, convenience, social integration and economic opportunities. However, it also places burdens on housing, sanitation, healthcare and the environment. Sociological perspectives view urbanization as both strengthening social bonds through interdependence while also weakening them by replacing close-knit communities. Urbanization and industrialization are interrelated processes that transform societies and economies.ISSUES AND IMPLICATIONS OF URBANIZATION

There are multiple types of kidney stones; however, 80% of stones are composed of calcium oxalate or phosphate. Other stone types include uric acid (9%), struvite (10%), and cystine (1%) stones and are significantly less common than stones composed of calcium oxalate or phosphate (80%).[2] The different types of stones occur due to varying risk factors such as diet, prior personal and family history of stones, environmental factors, medications, and the patients medical history.
Common risk factors for stone formation include poor oral fluid intake, high animal-derived protein intake, high oxalate intake (found in foods such as beans, beer, berries, coffee, chocolate, some nuts, some teas, soda, spinach, potatoes), and high salt intake.[2] Oral hydration is recommended at a rate that produces approximately 2.5 L of urine per day, and acceptable choices for fluids include water, coffee, tea, beer, and low sugar fruit juices except for tomato (high sodium content), grapefruit, and cranberry (high oxalate content). Consumption of citrate helps to prevent stone formation as it inhibits crystal aggregation by forming complexes with calcium salts within the urine. 60% of patients with calcium stones have been found to have hypocitraturia.[3][4] Low calcium intake has been shown to increase the risk of kidney stone formation, contrary to common belief. Decreased oral calcium intake will reduce calcium levels within the GI tract, which would otherwise be available to bind to oxalate. This, in turn, will increase oxalate absorption and excretion, increasing the risk of stone formation. Vitamin C intake and fish oil have also been shown to increase the risk of calcium stones.
A prior personal and family history of kidney stones will increase the patients risk of developing subsequent stones substantially. Procedures such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy have shown a three-fold increase in calcium oxalate stone formation secondary to the malabsorptive post-surgical state, resulting in increased urinary oxalate levels, decreased production of urine, and decreased urine citrate.[5]
The presence of medical conditions such as chronic kidney disease, hypertension, gout, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, obesity, endocrine, and malignancies increase the risk of the development of kidney stones. Obesity, hyperlipidemia, and type 2 diabetes mellitus have a strong association with calcium oxalate and uric acid stones. Patients with histories of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes mellitus often have diets that are high in animal-derived proteins, salt, and sugar, placing them at higher risk for stone formation. Insulin resistance in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus promotes metabolic changes that increase the risk of stone formation secondary to increased urinary calcium and uric acid excretion. A recent study evaluating 4500 patients with a history of kidney stones and insulin resistance showed increased urinary pH and dec

The document discusses the rapid growth of urban settlements and cities globally, particularly the emergence of megacities with populations over 8 million. Most megacity growth is occurring in developing regions of the world that lack resources to support massive urbanization. This uncontrolled urban growth strains infrastructure and resources, contributing to issues like poverty, lack of sanitation, disease, and environmental degradation. Proper urban planning and efforts to stabilize populations and improve rural development are needed to guide urban growth in a sustainable manner.Urban sprawl as a barrier to smart growth

There are several issues regarding town planning in India. The major issues include a lack of adequate housing, safe drinking water, and sanitation facilities. Many urban areas have poor infrastructure for these essential needs. Additionally, there are not enough healthcare facilities or schools, and poverty and pollution are widespread problems. Improper disposal of garbage and untreated sewage are also significant issues affecting public health in most Indian cities. Overall, rapid urbanization has outpaced planning, resulting in unorganized growth and a lack of basic amenities for much of the urban population.

The document discusses several major urban problems faced by developing countries:
1. High population density due to rural-urban migration leads to overcrowding, traffic, pollution, housing shortages, and poor living conditions.
2. Inadequate infrastructure like roads, power, water supply burden urban areas.
3. Lack of affordable housing and secure tenure puts many in vulnerable conditions and increases risk of health issues and poverty.
4. Unemployment rises as job growth fails to keep pace with population growth, worsening poverty.Population urbanization

This document discusses some of the disadvantages of living in a city. It notes that while some are attracted to the amenities cities offer, city living also comes with challenges. Some of the key disadvantages outlined include overcrowding due to high population density, stress from the fast pace of city life, increased pollution from noise, air, and water, and greater health and safety concerns in urban environments. Managing infrastructure demands is also a challenge for cities due to the concentration of people and activity.Urbanization in bangladesh

Urbanization in Bangladesh has increased rapidly in recent decades as the population migrates from rural to urban areas. This unplanned urbanization has led to several issues in major cities like Dhaka, including extreme overpopulation, shortage of housing and utilities, increased pollution, and environmental degradation. While urbanization has contributed to economic growth, it has also exacerbated problems like rising inequality, poverty, and pressures on infrastructure if not properly managed. Addressing the challenges of urbanization in a sustainable manner requires improved planning, management of rural-urban migration flows, and balanced development across urban and rural areas of Bangladesh.Urbanization impacts
- 1. URBANIZATION -IMPACTS Mrs.Vimala.M. VidyaniketanPublic school, Bangalore-56
- 2. URBANIZATION Urbanization is the increase in the proportion of people living in towns and cities. Urbanization occurs because people move from rural areas to urban areas .This usually occurs when a country is still developing.
- 3. Causes of Urbanization Rural to urban migration is happening on a massive scale due to population pressure and lack of resources in rural areas. People living in rural areas are PULLED to the city. Often they believe that the standard of living in urban areas will be much better in urban areas. Natural increase caused by a decrease in death rates while birth rates remain high.
- 4. Effects of Urbanization A range of economic, political,social, cultural and environmental factors affect urbanization. Urbanization is encouraged socially and culturally through the media.
- 5. Socio-cultural impacts Cities have a strong socio-cultural impacts on their surrounding rural areas. The mass media depicts city life as superior to rural life, the STANDARD language is deemed that of the national capital, and better services are received in the city due to its wealth. The fertility rate in cities is often lower than in rural areas due to the absence of agriculture, the cost of children,foodand living space in cities, and family planning.
- 6. Socio-economic impacts As a city grows, the cost of housing and infrastructure also grows, since there are less water, land and building material available,andgreater congestion problems.Asa city decays in this way, governments often do not meet the service needs of residents and urban development is dominated by private capital. Unemployment grows,asdo drug abuse,crimeand homelessness.
- 7. Environmental impactsWaste are a major problem in large cities. Air pollution results from over- dependence on motorisedtransport and from burning of coal to supply energy. Water pollution results from poor sewage facililtiesand disposal of industrial heavy metals into waterways. Vast quantities of solid waste are produced in industries. Traffic congestion and noise pollution are major environmental impacts of large cities.
- 8. Benefits of Urbanisation Improvement in economy Growth of commercial activities Social & cultural integration Efficient services Resources of utilization
- 9. Adverse effects of UrbanizationThere is increasing competition for facilities due to the high standard ofliving in urban areas, which has triggered several negative effects:- Slums and its consequences of overcrowding. Lack of sanitation, Poverty, Illiteracy, Unemployment andCrime is the worst impact of urbanization. Global warming, air ,pollution, water scarcity and pollution and loss of forest cover, agricultural land and depletion of wildlife as a result of urban sprawl, pose serious threats to the environment.
- 10. CONCLUSION The challenge facing the world today is to Minimize the negative effects and build the benefits . Infrastructure needs to be improved. Opportunities should be created within rural areas to prevent migration to cities.
