Google defines the term ‘urbanization’ to be “the process of making an area more urban.”
There can be several reasons cited as the causes of urbanization, the predominant of which are industrialization and commercialisation.
Urbanization, on the surface level, seems to be a very positive shift. After all, it provides higher standards of living for people, such as better food, education, housing, and health care.
In reality, however, it has several negative implications, some of which are deforestation, habitat loss, and the extraction of freshwater from the environment, which can decrease biodiversity and alter species ranges and interactions.
