==Urbanization==
==Urbanization==
Urbanization is defined as the increase of the percentage of people who live in Urban Areas. This may occur due to people moving from Rural Areas to Urban areas, or Rural Areas becoming Urban Areas in their own right (such as a growth in population). For example, artificially new cities such as [[Brazillia]], [[Brazil]] turn a rural area into an urban area. Rapid urbanization may result in [[Rural Decay]] where rural areas fall into disarray due to a a decreased or non-existent population.
