Difference between urban growth and urbanization - Coggle Diagram

- - - - One of the main causes of urbanisation is the industrialisation. Due to the industrial revolution many people have migrated from the rural areas to urban areas in order to get better employment opportunities. It caused economic growth as well as job opportunities that draw people to cities. Industrialisation makes an agricultural economy into a manufacturing one while urbanisation categorised by the grown of cities.

      - Industrialization: Urban areas are often centers of industry, offering employment opportunities in factories, offices, and service sectors. This can attract people from rural areas who are seeking work.(shariman)
      - Demand for better SOL: urbanization can occur when the economy grows, in turn creating a demand for a better standard of living (raahi)
      - Government policies: Governments may implement policies that promote urban growth, such as tax incentives for businesses or investment in infrastructure projects that attract people to urban areas.(raahi)
      - Birth rate exceeding the death rate, leading to population growth. In order to accommodate the rising population, there is a need for a larger space. As a result, villages nearby are swept up by growing cities. This increases the requirement for infrastructure that is required to sustain the expanding population, such as roads, water supplies, and transit networks.(zia)
    - - increased unemployment rates (pearl): Urbanisation is a contributing cause to unemployment, since vast number of people migrate from rural or underdeveloped cities into the more modernised and urban cities. But in most cases, the unemployment rates increase in urban areas because there aren't sufficient job opportunities for those coming into the urban areas as well as the ones currently living there.
        
        increased crime rates (roohani):
        Over the years as cities have been aiming to become more devloped and urban the world population has exponentially grown, according to UNFPA the world’s population is more than three times larger than it was in the mid-twentieth century, and in turn, has led to a shortage of resources and faster inflation which led to a drastic increase in crime rates and violence. Economic inequality is higher in cities and provides more opportunities for criminal activity and violence.
        
        Inadequate Infrastructure (tia): Rapid urbanization can also result in inadequate infrastructure, particularly in developing countries. This can lead to insufficient water supply and sanitation systems, inadequate public transportation, and limited access to healthcare and education services.
        
        Environmental degradation (kiya) - Environmental degradation is a major consequence of urbanization. Urban areas frequently encroach on natural habitats and contribute to habitat destruction, resulting in a decline in biodiversity as they continue to grow. Urbanization also has a negative impact on the quality of the air and water because it raises pollution levels from transportation, industrial activities, and energy use. Also, urbanization can prompt expanded ozone-depleting substance discharges, fueling environmental change and its related effects. In conclusion, urbanization poses significant obstacles to sustainable development and environmental adaptation and mitigation efforts.
