Urbanization....Does this work???




Urbanization is the migration of a large number of people from rural areas to urban areas. In the article about Chinese Urbanization, it discusses how China pushes to end poverty through urbanization.  Many people in China have migrated to urban areas to create a better lifestyle for theirselves and their families.  Chinese governments are investing in better infrastructures and residential housing which provides more job opportunities for those people such as farmers who migrate from rural areas to urban areas.

It is a great idea for those seeking better jobs, in order to become better off.  Some of the main attractions of urbanization include better infrastructures such as utilities, buildings, and roads.  Urbanization also allows people from rural areas the benefits of better health care and facilities, education, and entertainment for the whole family.

Some downfalls of urbanization can be overpopulation, pollution, increase in unemployment, and lack of resources.  I believe that some of these downfalls can be prevented by building up the rural areas as well.  This can be done by creating more jobs in agriculture, providing recreation/entertainment, and providing more health care and education benefits for individuals in these areas.  Creating better infrastructures will also be beneficial to people in rural areas.
