 Why the importance of urbanization??? (--)



Urbanization is a huge part of our everyday life here. Without urbanization we wouldn't have the simple things like paved streets, street lights, and sewers.

With urbanization (paved streets), you are able to drive your car safely. If their wasn't paved roads you may still be driving on dirt roads, and in the rain the roads can become muddy causing it to not only be difficult, but dangerous too drive on. Plus getting a car stuck in a muddy area isn't the easiest to deal with. In addition driving on the dirt roads is much slower then paved roads, wouldn't you like to get to you desired area a lot faster?

Street lights allow you to get around to the places you need to go and get there **safely**. How safe would it be walking around in the dark and you have no idea what's around the corner?

Sewers are a major importance in life. Back then all the waste was basically thrown out the windows on to the street. With that it causes bacteria, and disease. With this many people would end up getting sick constantly. Not only that, but the area where the sewage dumped (road) would be disgusting, and so would the smell.

Urbanization has helped create the everyday things we all are use to and need:

Hospitals: Without the hospitals there wouldn't be a place for you to go and get surgery done, a place to go if you are severely injured, and without the hospital there wouldn't be many people alive. In addition to the medical history, things like medicine and the germ theory were found out.

Housing: Everyone loves going home, but without urbanization you may not even have a place to call home.

Cities: Places like New York and all the other cities were a plan from urbanization. The buildings, roads, lights, and everything was planned.

Buildings: Many love making money, shopping and all these buildings come from urbanization. The everyday places you love to go too are all from this development.

Urbanization is extremely important for the further growth of cities, and places. Everything has too start with buildings because without the buildings there would be no place to make the desired product. People wouldn't have a place to live, further educate themselves, go on vacation, etc. Life is based on urbanization, and its something we all have grown accustomed too.
