Urbanization, urbanisation or urban drift is the physical growth of urban areas as a result of global change. Urbanization is also defined by the United Nations as movement of people from rural to urban areas with population growth equating to urban migration.Urbanization is closely linked to modernization, industrialization , and the sociological process of rationalization. So the term urbanization can represent the level of urban relative to overall population, or it can represent the rate at which the urban proportion is increasing. In the United Kingdom, two major examples of new urbanization can be seen in Swindon, Wiltshire and Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. These two towns show some of the quickest growth rates in Europe.
