now that we've discussed the main
concepts about migration let's discuss an
an
important form of migration urbanization
urbanization often arises through rural
urban migration
rural means the countryside and urban
means the city
as people migrate from the countryside
to the city an increasing proportion of
the inhabitants of a country live in a city
city
which is called urbanization in many
developed countries there was
urbanization since the 19th century
industrialization meant there was a lot
of work in factories in the city
while there was little work in the
countryside the high birth rate in rural
areas resulted in an abundance of workers
workers
and many people moved to the city the
urbanization level is the percentage of
residents living in the city and is therefore
therefore
increased sharply the urbanization speed
is the speed at which the degree of
urbanization is increasing
if a lot of people already live in a
city relatively few people will join
which means that the urbanization rate
drops at a high urbanization level the
decay of inner cities the increasing
number of affordable cars and
increasing prosperity made it possible
for the wealthy to live outside the city
and drive to the city for work every day
from the 1950s the process that people
move from the city to the areas around
it is called suburbanization
especially in american cities like los
angeles many neighborhoods were built
outside the city during this period
these neighborhoods are called the super
herbs because an enormous service was
needed to provide everyone with a house
with a garden we speak
of urban sprawl the city spreads over an
enormous surface
because the rich left the city the poor
remain in the city and more and more
people moved away
suburbanization became a self and
reinforcing process
from the 1980s there's a growing
interest in the city again
there is re-urbanization people are
moving back to the city because it has
been renovated
or because gentrification has made some
neighborhoods more attractive and
because people are moving
to the city for work study or leisure
this new migration to the city does have
consequences for the peripheral areas
such as in the netherlands in rural
municipalities in peripheral regions
young people move to the city for study
and work and stay there
the departure areas therefore lack young
workers who
also have children as a result these
areas are experiencing
an aging population companies are also
moving away
due to a shortage of suitable workers
this creates a self-reinforcing
situation of people
and companies who are leaving some
countries are
experiencing strong economic growth this
economic growth could be the consequence
of the development of special economic zones
zones
areas where companies can establish
themselves on favorable terms
such as tax breaks these special
economic zones
are mainly developed in cities along the
coast so that companies can easily
export goods
at the ports because economic growth is
still mainly noticeable in these regions
many people in these countries are
moving from rural areas to such cities
in search of work
this is how mega cities are created
overpopulation creates slums
at the least favorable locations near
such cities
the population density can then increase
enormously especially if many high-rise
apartment buildings are built
the population distribution in that
country is also changing
an increasing proportion of the
population will live in coastal areas
in short rural urban migration leads to
urbanization and this process has major
consequences for population density
population distribution
and economic opportunities in various areas
