Question

Explain the following concept with examples.

Urbanisation

What is meant by urbanization?

Answer 1

Urbanisation must consist of an inward flow of large numbers of people from scattered rural areas to urban communities.

1. Industrial growth is an essential feature of urban centres today, because of industrial expansion migration takes place so place of residence and one's place of work drift apart with the passage of time.
2. Because of the heterogeneous grouping of people brought about by urbanization people from different areas who are of different genders, sexualities, castes, creeds, classes, and so forth a number of traditional barriers have been dismantled.
3. Urbanisation implies controls and obligations and they are administered by municipal corporations. Traditional organizations like caste panchayats have less of an impact now that secondary forms of control are in use.
4. The division of labour is a result of urbanisation. The division of labour is based on a person's abilities and knowledge. Each person is given a particular type of work based on his or her skill, knowledge, intelligence, ability, and hard work.
