Urbanization was found in MDcs because it took place in the industrialization period in Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. As mentioned earlier people moved from rural areas to urban areas for better opportunities and rapid urbanization took place in MDCs.
18. List the 3 reasons why urbanization has occurred since 1950s in LDCs.
1) People from rural areas are moving to urban areas at a high scale due to the population pressure and the lack of resources in the rural areas. 2) People move to rural areas for better job opportunities, they believe they will get proper education, free services, better jobs, better health care, etc. 3) Decrease in death rates while birth rates remain high.
