What is difference between rural development and urbanization?
There are some writers using the term ‘urban development’ even when there is urban extension. I am unable to understand why they don’t differentiate between the increase in area and the economic improvement within the domain of an urban area (urban city or town). Urban development is a process of either improving the amenities, the facilities and way of living or creating new amenities, facilities and way of living for the people living in an urban area without taking any account of any increase in its domain. The process of urban development of an urban area is similar to the process of economic development of a country while the process of urban extension is just like the process of extending the boundaries of a nation through amalgamation of a neighboring nation either by conquering or otherwise.
