industrialization and urban sprawl

Industrialization refers to the process of transforming primarily agrarian societies into ones that rely heavily on manufacturing and industrial production. It involves the shift of resources and focus from agriculture to factories, resulting in increased mechanization, use of technology, and mass production of goods. Urban sprawl, on the other hand, refers to the uncontrolled and often unplanned expansion of cities into surrounding rural areas. It generally involves the spread of residential, commercial, and industrial development over a wider and larger geographic area. Urban sprawl leads to the creation of suburbs, the proliferation of highways, and the fragmentation of previously undeveloped land, often resulting in negative environmental and social impacts.
