Définition

  • Urbanization, or the process by which cities grow, is one of the most important geographic phenomena in the world today. This is because the proportion of the world's population living in urban settlements is growing at a rapid rate, and many of the most significant economic, social, cultural, political, and environmental processes are increasingly occurring within and between the growing numbers of cities in the world today.
