Socio-economic impact of urbanization

The urbanization process shows an increase in the proportion of people living in cities and towns as a result of the movement of people from rural areas to urban areas. Urbanization is widely accepted as a process that has multiple consequences such as social, economic or environmental and usually occurs in developing countries. This complex process recognizes a strong global dimension that overcomes spatial barriers and acts as true centers of progress with a significant impact on natural resources and quality of life.
