The Negative and Positive Effect of Urbanization

Argument for and against urbanization. What is urbanization? According to wikipedia “Urbanization is the process of shifting from rural areas into urban areas, the decrease in the number of people living in rural areas and the ways in which society adapts to this change” Urbanization is simply an art of making an area urban and the way in which cities get filled up by more and more people. However, as with many things, urbanization has it ups and downs, it’s pros and cons, advantage and disadvantages. For this reason i present my arguement for and against it. Urbanization creates a shift in social class and backkgroounds in which people are naturally born into. So it more easier for newer class of people to attain feats they would never had. Increase in production and industrialization Increase and greater access to employment opportunities and possibilities Urbanization has created the freedom of expression, especially to the rural people in densely populated areas. However i outrightly object to urbanization and some few strands, which are likely that: Urban areas can encroach or border on the rural areas: This is duly because as more and more people fill up urban spaces there is tendency to expand which result in acquiring areas meant for rural communities Secondly, nature is being destroyed by urban (ized) areas: The natural fertility needed to grow the plants in the soil is gradually eroded and lesser green works are being done by people in urban areas. It enormous the total number of trees that can be felled in order to create more areas for the urban people. Overpopulation: It increases the chances of overpopulation in an area which has so many effects on the area being acquired by the urban people. Overpopulation results in negative impacts on the urban areas such biodiversity, death of sea animals, shortage of water and food supply, heavy competitions, higher rates of crimes and delinquencies, murderer and so many evils amongst the people
