In many countries,an increasing number of people are moving to big cities from small towns and villages. I personally feel, this is a positive move, despite some drawbacks
The reasons why people moved to the cities
People go to the cities for many reasons. what pulls them to the cities and what pushes them away from the countryside ?
Pull factors
• more and better jobs
• better hospitals and health care
• better living standards
• cities are social and financial centres
• better education—schools and universities
Push factors
• too many people in the countryside
• low income
• not enough raw materials (water, wood etc..)
• the quality of farming land is getting worse.
