Urbanization (or urbanisation) is a term from geography. The base of the word is the Latin urbs, which means city. The term urbanisation means that lifestyle that is common in a city becomes prevalent. This can happen in two different ways:
- Through the growth of cities; called physical urbanization
- Through the change of behaviour of people living in rural areas; called functional urbanization
