Sociology
The term ‘over-urbanization’ means that:
life in modern Western cities is so far removed from that of the Third World that we find it difficult to understand these societies
in poorer countries, the rapidly developing cities drain resources from the rural areas
the extent to which urbanization affects development has been exaggerated
governments are so preoccupied with urbanization in the West that they forget to attend to problems in the Third World
in poorer countries, the rapidly developing cities drain resources from the rural areas
While industrialized countries have undergone a demographic transition, with falling birth and death rates, poorer countries are facing rapid population growth, much of which is concentrated in large urban centres. Urbanization in Africa, Asia and Latin America is occurring at a much faster pace than elsewhere in the world, and the cities in these countries are said to be parasitic: they drain resources from more rural areas. 643
