1.Cities are more wealthy places with factories and offices.
Around 5% of people in urban areas and 20% in rural areas of Malawi do not have access to clean water.
City dwellers lived in urban areas such as neighborhoods and downtown districts, while urban farmers typically lived on the outskirts of the city or in peri-urban areas where they could have access to larger plots of land for farming. Urban farmers often sought out areas with fertile soil, access to water sources, and enough space to cultivate crops or raise animals.
Urban areas rely on rural areas for food production and resource extraction. Rural areas depend on urban areas for markets to sell their agricultural products and access to services such as healthcare and education. Urban areas often provide employment opportunities for rural residents who commute for work. Infrastructure and resources (such as water and electricity) may be shared between urban and rural areas.
As of recent estimates, approximately 57% of the population in Ethiopia has access to clean drinking water. However, this access can vary significantly between urban and rural areas, with urban populations generally having better access. Efforts are ongoing to improve water infrastructure and increase access for those without clean water.
Almost everyone. if you live in the urban areas (cities you get water from taps from your home and if you live in the rural areas you can use boreholes, wells and maybe rivers but they boil the water for health issues but overal almost everyone can access clean water
Most Venezuelans and Mexicans live in urban areas due to economic opportunities, access to services, and infrastructure. Urban areas offer better job prospects, education, healthcare, and social services compared to rural areas, leading to migration towards cities in search of a better quality of life. Additionally, urban areas tend to have higher population density and a more diverse range of amenities and cultural activities which attract people to live there.
Peasant farms are often located near urban areas for easier access to markets to sell their produce, as well as to benefit from available labor supply. Additionally, proximity to cities can provide access to key resources such as water, infrastructure, and services.
Higher population density along the coast in Latin America can be attributed to factors such as economic opportunities, access to transportation and trade routes, historical urban development patterns, and favorable climate for agriculture and tourism. Additionally, coastal areas often have better access to resources such as water and fisheries, which can attract people to settle in these regions.
As of recent estimates, approximately 80% of the population in Lesotho has access to clean water. This access varies significantly between urban and rural areas, with urban populations generally enjoying better access. Despite these improvements, challenges remain, particularly in remote regions where infrastructure is lacking. Efforts continue to enhance water supply and sanitation services across the country.

Urban areas draw water from rivers or lakes. Rural areas get theirs from wells.
Water supply and sanitation in Tanzania is characterised by: decreasing access to Improved_water_sourcein the 2000s (especially in urban areas), steady access to some form of sanitation (around 93% since the 1990s), intermittent water supply and generally low quality of service.
