TSR Wiki > Study Help > Subjects and Revision > Revision Notes > Geography > Urbanisation


  • Urbanisation is the process by which there is an increase in the proportion of people living in urban areas.


  • Some common indices used to define towns are
    • Population size
    • Population density
    • Function
    • Level of administration


  • The UN has refused to classify settlements as towns/rural areas and has instead chosen to classify them by size.
