Urbanisation and Migration

This document discusses urbanization and migration. It begins by outlining the history of cities from preclassical to neoclassical times and how the industrial revolution led to increased rural to urban migration in the 19th century. It then defines migration and lists the different types including rural-urban, intercontinental, intracontinental, forced, seasonal, and return migration. The impacts of migration are explored, noting both positive impacts like improved job opportunities but also negative impacts like increased population density, crime, and environmental pollution. The document concludes by linking to an article about the problems of urbanization in India such as unemployment, inadequate infrastructure, lack of affordable housing, and health and social effects.
