Urbanization refers to the increasing number of people who live in urban areas. This trend is a relatively recent development.

Many wealthy countries began to see a change during the 19th century. More and more people were moving to urban areas as a result of rising urban areas.

Multiple challenges arise as a result of rapid urbanization. They include congested traffic, environmental pollution, elevated crime rates, and reduced amounts of natural resources. Those living in cities often face sustainability issues, as well. These include a lack of affordable housing, decent jobs, essential services, food safety, and education.
For these reasons, the UN acknowledges the importance of achieving sustainability. These goals require improved planning for infrastructure, using technology, and improving social growth. However, urbanization isn't all bad.. For example, urban areas are often more inclusive, experience greater equality, and have access to new opportunities.
