Distinguish urbanization and urbanizinism.

 Urbanization:

Urbanization is the movement of population from rural to urban areas and the resulting increasing proportion of a population that resides in urban rather than rural places.

Thompson Warren (Encyclopaedia of Social Sciences) has defined it as “the movement of people from communities concerned chiefly or solely with agriculture to other communities, generally larger whose activities are primarily centred in government, trade, manufacture, or allied interests”.

According to Anderson (1953:11), urbanization is not a one-way process but it is a two-way process.

It involves not only movement from villages to cities and change from agricultural occupation to business, trade, service and profession, but it also involves change in the migrants’ attitudes, beliefs, values and behaviour patterns.

He has given five characteristics of urbanization: money economy, civil administration, cultural changes, written records and innovations.

Urbanism:

Urbanism is a way of life. It reflects an organization of society in terms of a complex division of labour, high levels of technology, high mobility, interdependence of its members in fulfilling economic functions and impersonality in social relations
