Mechanisation
(the introduction of machinery) on farms is one factor that
has caused urbanisation. |
|
Urbanisation
first occurred in MEDCs during the industrial revolution.
People were attracted to urban areas (pulled) from rural areas
to work in factories. They were also pushed as developments
in technology led to mechanisation on farms.
Nowadays, the rate of urbanisation in LEDCs is greater than
in MEDCs. As LEDCs are developing more people are migrating
to urban areas.
