Mechanization increases urbanization by enhancing productivity in agriculture and manufacturing, allowing fewer people to produce more goods. This efficiency leads to surplus labor in rural areas, prompting migration to cities in search of jobs. As urban centers expand to accommodate the influx of workers, infrastructure and services develop, further attracting populations and reinforcing the cycle of urban growth. Ultimately, mechanization transforms economic structures, fostering a shift from rural to urban living.
ex-urbanization is a process whereby people move from the city to rural areas, but continue to maintain an urban way of life, either through long distance communicating and technology.
Urbanization is the process by which an increasing percentage of a population moves from rural areas to urban centers, resulting in the growth of cities. This phenomenon often occurs due to factors such as the search for better employment opportunities, access to education and healthcare, and improved living standards. Additionally, industrialization, technological advancements, and population growth contribute to the migration towards urban areas. As cities expand, they often attract individuals seeking a higher quality of life and greater social and economic opportunities.
