Geography- Urbanisation in Contrasting Global Cities
- Key Definitions
- Urbanisation- The proces of urban grwoth due to
an increase of built-up urban areas
- Re-urbanisation- The government's inittiavtive to to
counter to problem of urban inner city decline
- Urban sprawl- The outward growth of urban areas
- Megacity- A city with a population of 10 million people or more
- Rural- An area, normally in the countryside with a population of less than 10,000

- Re-urbanisation- The government's inittiavtive to to

- Global city vs Megacities
- A global city is a city that is well connected to other parts of
the world whereas a megacity is a city with a population with
more than 10 million. A city does not have to have a large
population to be global (Eg London) as the links bwteen a city
and the globe is not dependent on the population.

- Lots of competition for jobs, which can become unavailable
- Less housing avaliable so illelegal or informal setlements such as slums may have to be set up
- More pollution due to more transport usage
