Talk:Urbanization

Article Excessively Negative/Biased Against Urbanization
I find this article places excessive emphasis on the problems and challenges of urbanization, with far less mention of the positive aspects such as lower greenhouse gas emissions, agglomeration effects and knowledge spillovers, and higher standards of living in urbanized areas in the developing world. I recommend substantial edits and/or rewrites. DP2023 (talk) 17:32, 5 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Agree, it reads like an argumentative essay. The second paragraph’s opening line is “Urbanization is often responsible for the myriad of modern problems facing humanity.” LaggyMcStab (talk) 05:45, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Distinction between "organic" and "planned"
"Urbanization occurs either organically or planned as a result of individual, collective and state action."

If "organically" is taken to mean that people commit urbanising acts with an explicit basis of "we should increase the proportion of population living in urban places" as an end goal in itself − then nothing is "organic". If it is about committing urbanising acts for a more ultimate purpose − then everthing is "organic" and not "planned".

Can this be clarified? Y. Dongchen (talk) 06:04, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
