Urbanization

A urbanization represents the entire process of transforming a society, region or territory.

In other words, it doesn't just mean the population growth of cities, but the increase in population in relation to its territory.

Concluding, when the urban population of a given territory grows more than its territory, we can say that an urbanization process is taking place.

However, there is another meaning to the word urbanization, it being the implementation of infrastructure in city spaces.

For example sometimes, irregular areas emerge in urban areas, but only when those areas receive from the city council, benefits such as electricity or basic sanitation, is that we can say that the area was urbanized, thus acquiring characteristics of an urban space.

In a very general way the process of urbanization of societies occurs from the mass transfer of the population from the countryside to the cities.

The organization of urban space is something that is increasingly recurring today and extremely important, since it is in cities that there are large population agglomerations.
