Urban vs rural population
Human settlement is divided into two categories: urban and rural, based on population density, development, amenities, employment opportunities, education, and so on. The term “urban” refers to a human settlement that is rapidly urbanizing and becoming more industrialized. A rural settlement, on the other hand, is one where the rate of urbanization is relatively slow.
Basis For Comparison | Urban | Rural |
|---|---|---|
Meaning | The term “urban” refers to a settlement with a large population and built-environment characteristics. | Rural refers to an area on the outskirts of a city. |
Life | Fast and complicated | Simple and relaxed |
Environment | Increased separation from nature. | Direct contact with the natural world. |
Population size | Densely populated | Sparsely populated |
Development | Planned settlements are found in urban areas that have grown as a result of the urbanization and industrialization processes. | Based on the availability of natural vegetation and fauna in the area, it was created at random. |
Conclusion
It’s easy to see how these two human settlements differ in terms of the density of human structures and the people who live there. In comparison to rural areas, the standard of living in cities is higher. At present, urban areas house the majority of the population, and the total land area occupied by the urban region exceeds that of rural areas.
