• 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.
