Urbanisation is good or bad, Group Discussion practice for Airforce Phase 2b GD by GarhwalSir

Urbanisation: 

Urbanisation is the population shift from villages or rural areas to urban areas. Urban areas are important towns in terms of administration, employment, trade, commerce etc.

Good/Pros:

1. Urban areas provide more employment opportunities. For example cities like Bangalore have become epicentre of IT sector in India

2. Cities are the hub of education, be it secondary school or higher education. 

3. Cities are equipped with more efficient basic amenities like water, electricity, health etc 

4. Caste identities and stereotypes are less dominant in urban areas as compared to rural areas. 

5. Urban areas have better connectivity through roads and bridges, flyover etc  and transport facilities including roadways, railways, Airways and even waterways in some cases.

6 All tourist and pilgrim centres like Varanasi, Goa etc have urbanization due to high footfall.

Bad/Cons:

1. All the cities are given birth at the cost of loss of habitat and deforestation. 

2. Due to high population density in urban areas there is scarcity and competition for housing, water, other resources like in Delhi. 

3.  Urban areas have a higher crime rate than rural areas. Crimes like burglary,  chain snatching , rape etc are common in urban areas.

4. Urbanization is closely related to industrialisation, so air and water pollution is inevitable in urban areas.

5. All the facilities and comforts of urban centres come at the high cost of living. People migrate from villages to cities in search of employment for livelihood. This causes loss of their native culture and separation from family.

6. More dependence on technology and machines leads to an unhealthy lifestyle in cities, for example more people suffering from obesity, heart problems, diabetes etc in urban areas.
