Which of the following is not a main cause of urbanisation? Correct Answer Rising prices

Urbanization refers to the population shift from rural to urban areas, the decrease in the proportion of people living in rural areas, and the ways in which societies adapt to this change. It is predominantly the process by which towns and cities are formed and become larger as more people begin living and working in central areas.

The Three Main Causes of Urbanization are:

  • Rural to urban migration is happening on a massive scale due to Rapid population growth creating population pressure and lack of resources and essential amenities in rural areas. 
  • People living in rural areas are ‘pulled’ to the cities due to the declining and shifting of industries like the cottage industry. People believe that the standard of living in urban areas will be much better than in rural areas.
  • People also hope for well-paid jobs, greater opportunities to find casual or informal work, better health care, and education.
  • The natural increase is caused by a decrease in death rates while birth rates remain high.
  • Social factors such as the attraction of cities, better standard of living, better educational facilities, need for status also induce people to migrate to cities.

Therefore, from the above points, we can clearly see that rising prices are not a cause of Urbanisation.
