Solution
Brazil is one of the developing world’s most urbanised countries. About 86% of the Brazilian population lives in urban areas, and the term “urban” does not have a very distinct meaning in Brazil because settlements have been nucleated or concentrated along the coast, and industrial development has occurred only in those areas. Because of the easy availability of water and the fertile lands available for cultivation, the early settlers who came to the country established settlements in these regions. This resulted in nucleated settlements in these regions, which grew into cities.
