Pseudo urbanization is the condition in which a large city has formed in an area without a functional infrastructure to support it. As the population of an urbanized area grows, the city s infrastructure must grow with it, or else shortage s will develop, typically in House housing , education , transportation , clean water and waste management waste removal services, or other services such as law enforcement. Overpopulation in urban areas is often characterized by shanty towns , where such services are inadequate or wholly absent. A city in which significant growth in the absence of adequate infrastructure has taken place will be deemed pseudo urbanized . Urbanization in the North South divide third world tends to consist primarily of pseudo urbanization . This happens largely because of so called rural push factors which push people from the countryside into the cities, without the city being prepared to accept them. Rural urban migrants in the third world usually move into the cities due to poverty related reasons, leading to a demographic explosion and a progressive concentration of poor migrants in the cities. This is a finite process, as one city can only hold so many people due to limited infrastructure and available resources.

Counter urbanisation is a demographic and social process whereby people move from urban area s to rural areas. It first took place as a reaction to inner city deprivation and overcrowding . Initial study of counter urbanisation was carried out by Human geography human geographer Brian Berry . ref http ann.sagepub.com cgi content abstract 451 1 13 ref More recent research has documented the social and political drivers of counter urbanisation, and the impacts of the same, in developing countries, which are currently undergoing processes of mass urbanisation, such as China. ref Griffiths, Michael. B., Flemming Christiansen, and Malcolm Chapman. 2010 Chinese Consumers The Romantic Reappraisal . Ethnography, Sept 2010, 11, 331 357. ref Process The process involves the moving of the population away from urban areas such as town s and City cities to a new town , a new Housing estate estate , a commuter town or a village . The first two of these destinations were often encouraged by government schemes whereas the latter two were generally the choice of more middle class, socially mobile persons from their own prerogative. With the improvement of innercity Transportation transport infrastructure, and more sustainable public transport, people no longer have to live close to their work, and so can easily commute each day. Factors of moving Many factors can come in to account when someone decides to move from an urban area to a rural area including House housing density, housing prices, pollution levels health afflictions , crime levels, peaceful retirement , and a wish to improve quality of life. Developments in rural electrification and rural Internet bring to rural areas some of the amenities of urbanity thus eliminating one of the obstacles preventing some people from moving to a more rural setting.

Orphan date February 2009 The Urbanization of Blacks In America During the early nineteen hundreds most blacks in America resided in four main cities New York , Baltimore , Philadelphia , and Boston . The distribution of black America s changed due to a few major factors. These factors play a huge role in what we know today as the Black community.

It was founded in 1884 by Eglantyne Louisa Jebb who was inspired by an initiative of Charles Godfrey Leland in Philadelphia. Another leading member was the designer Mary Fraser Tytler . The organisation sought to revive traditional rural crafts which were threatened by the mechanisation of production and by increasing urbanization. In conformity with the thinking of John Ruskin and with Arts and Crafts philosophy, supporters believed that flourishing traditional crafts helped sustain rural communities and provided workers with far more personal satisfaction than was possible for factory workers.
