cities and towns
• Urban growth- absolute or simple growth in the
number of urban dwellers
• Urbanism-characteristic way of life of urban dwellers
• Exceptional is not so much the increased proportion of
urban growth, but the absolute growth of urban
population
• Rapid growth of cities in the developing world has
produced several distinctive forms and processes
46. Features of Urbanization in Developing World

growth of very large cities
• Primate city is used to identify cities that dominate the
urban pattern of their respective countries
• Such cities are much larger than next largest city and
account for much of the political and economic activity
as well as services Examples: Bangkok, Mexico City
• The growth of such large cities has produced mega-
cities which exceed 10 million Examples: Bombay,
Calcutta, Jakarta (Jabotabek), Mexico City, Sao Paulo
