Detailed explanation-1: -The term urbanization means the increasing proportion of country’s population living in cities (Khan, 2003). The shifting of rural populations to urban areas is mainly due to urban biases in terms of development and economic opportunities.
Detailed explanation-2: -Counterurbanization, or deurbanization, is a demographic and social process whereby people move from urban areas to rural areas. It is, like suburbanization, inversely related to urbanization.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rural urbanization is a process by which rural areas become urbanized. As a process it has evolved throughout human history from ancient times to the present day under different names and approaches. This evolution has followed two paths: planned rural urbanization (PRU) and unplanned rural urbanization (URU).
