Kamnik Bistrica
The Kamnik Bistrica (, ) is an Alpine river in northern Slovenia, a left tributary of the Sava River. It springs from the Kamnik Alps (part of the Southern Limestone Alps) near the border with Austria. It is long. The Kamnik Bistrica flows through the town of Kamnik, where it is fed by the Nevljica River. It flows into the Sava south of Videm, about 10 km east of Ljubljana. Course and catchment geology The Kamnik Bistrica rises from a karst spring at about 630 m above sea level on the southern flank of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps and follows a steep, 32.8 km course southeast to join the Sava near Domžale. Draining roughly 380 km2 of mostly forested limestone and dolomite highlands, the river begins as an ice-cold, crystal-clear alpine stream but gathers both flow and sediment as it descends through a succession of narrow glacial valleys, gravelly floodplains, and finally lowland terraces of Pleistocene and Holocene age. Its principal tributaries are the left ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Urbanization
Urbanization (or urbanisation in British English) is the population shift from Rural area, rural to urban areas, the corresponding decrease in the proportion of people living in rural areas, and the ways in which societies adapt to this change. It can also mean population growth in urban areas instead of rural ones. It is predominantly the process by which towns and City, cities are formed and become larger as more people begin to live and work in central areas. Although the two concepts are sometimes used interchangeably, urbanization should be distinguished from Urban sprawl, urban growth. Urbanization refers to the ''proportion'' of the total national population living in areas classified as urban, whereas urban growth strictly refers to the ''absolute'' number of people living in those areas. It is predicted that by 2050, about 64% of the developing world and 86% of the developed world will be urbanized. This is predicted to generate artificial scarcities of land, lack of dr ...

In most English-speaking world, English-speaking countries, suburban areas are defined in contrast to core city, central city or inner city areas, but in Australian English and South African English, ''suburb'' has become largely synonymous with what is called a "neighborhood" in the U.S. Due in part to historical trends such as white flight, some suburbs in the United States have a higher population ...
