What to Focus On

  • Urbanisation is the growth of urban areas and the rise in the share of people living in them.
  • Urban population growth means the absolute increase in the number of urban residents.
  • Urbanisation leads to land conversion, deforestation, pollution, and pressure on resources.

  • Slums grow when city population rises faster than housing supply.
  • About 20 to 25 per cent of India's urban families live in slums or squatter settlements.
  • Mumbai had the highest slum population percentage at 48.88% in the 2001 Census.

  • Counter urbanisation means movement away from urban areas.
  • It is also called rural turnaround.
  • High land cost, congestion, and pollution encourage it.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Urbanisation and urban population growth mean the same thing.

Counter urbanisation means migration from villages to cities.

Slums are caused only by poor migrants.
