Conclusion
In this way, urbanization is a process of increasing the role of cities in the life
of human society. The global economic growth of many countries of the world
is directly connected to the process of urbanization, due to which
urbanization in the present time and in the long term will have a steady
increase in all its indicators (the number of urban population, the increase in
the area of existing cities and the number of new cities, etc.) and will remain
as one of the global processes of modernity.
