Urbanization And Megacities Questions
The concept of urbanization of poverty refers to the phenomenon where poverty becomes concentrated in urban areas due to rapid urbanization and the influx of rural migrants seeking better economic opportunities. It is characterized by the growth of slums, informal settlements, and inadequate access to basic services such as housing, sanitation, healthcare, and education. Urbanization of poverty often leads to social inequality, limited upward mobility, and increased vulnerability for marginalized populations in cities.
