It is the growth of city

43、-based populations. It includes social, political, and cultural impacts as populations transform into city-based ways of living. PART B: 4 points 1 point for each of the following correct descriptions and explanations (4 points maximum): North America: low rate of urbanization and high level of urba

44、nization; already reached industrial revolution, so population is already largely urban Southeast Asia: high rate of urbanization and low level of urbanization (ongoing city building); curently experiencing industrialization and growth of cities, massive urban migration patterns in many countries (a

45、lthough not al; Singapore, for instance, is 10 percent urban) Latin America: low level of urbanization and high rate of urbanization; similar to Southeast Asia, with high rates of rural-to-urban migration, causing higher rates of urbanization and increasing levels of urbanization PART C: 3 points 1

46、point for each of the following (3 points maximum): Counterurbanization is the proces of a population becoming les centralized and generaly moving from urban spaces into more-rural spaces. The factors that influence counterurbanization are higher costs of living in cities, less traffic and congestio

47、n in outlying areas, and the availability of improved transportation and communication technology (alowing comuting and working from home in more-remote areas). Demographicaly, most people in U.S. counterurbanization trends are retired (older than 5) and in the midle- to uper-income ranges, allowing

48、 them the fredom to be spatially mobile and the ability to move into the “countryside” for a more peaceful retirement than the traffic and congestion in the cities would allow.
