Agglomération De Québec
An urban area is a human settlement with a high population density and an infrastructure of built environment. Urban areas originate through urbanization, and researchers categorize them as cities, towns, conurbations or suburbs. In urbanism, the term "urban area" contrasts to rural areas such as villages and hamlets; in urban sociology or urban anthropology, it often contrasts with natural environment. The development of earlier predecessors of modern urban areas during the urban revolution of the 4th millennium BCE led to the formation of human civilization and ultimately to modern urban planning, which along with other human activities such as exploitation of natural resources has led to a human impact on the environment.

In 2009, the number of people living in urban areas (3.42 billion) surpassed the number living in rural areas (3.41 bi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
