Rural areas are those which are not fully developed and lack basic facilities such as villages and hamlets. Urban areas are those which are fully developed and provide basic facilities as well as luxuries to the people living here such as towns and cities.

INTRODUCTION Currently, most of the world’s population is living in urban areas which have implications for land use and land changes, use of natural resources, and the absorption of rural labour in urban areas.

Individuals take into account the advantages and disadvantages of both locations as well as the opportunities presented.

The cost of living in a big city is much higher than

behavior and social relationships which occur in a society as a result of people living in towns and cities (Nduwayezu, 2015). Oguz (2004) argued that urbanization has been increasing since World War II, and has not shown any sign of decline and is likely to continue in to the twenty first century. Fast urbanization has led to a conversion of rural area in to built-up areas and loss of green spaces in cities. These changes in land use and land cover concern loss of agricultural, forest land and loss of

Examples of this include; Umberto Boccioni’s, The City Rises (1910); Claude Monet’s, Boulevard des Capucines (1873); and Pablo Picasso’s, Absinthe Drinker (1901).

is to propose a plan for the city of Houston to consider becoming a “No-Kill City” and adopt “No-Kill” animal control policy in regards to city run and funded animal shelters. Specifically, if the city council would consider the policy or a trial of it, it could be adapted to fit the city financially and effectively with available resources that would save lives and the city itself money. Summary: The purpose of this proposal is to make aware of a large problem the city is facing due to pet over-population

Pros and Cons of Urban Sprawl According to Meriam Webster, Urban sprawl means “the spreading of urban developments (such as houses and shopping centers) on undeveloped land near a city”. It is a result of industrial development in the process of modernization. Industrial production and operation need a specific division of labor and areas of land to build plants. Thus, more places are turned from farmland or natural areas to concrete buildings and pavement. People have long debated the advantages

brings in a variety of different people from different customs and making the community more diverse. This process is called gentrification which is urban change, particularly, the transformation of a low income or economically depressed area of a city into a higher-income more economically prosperous. Gentrification is not tied to race and ethnicity but social class. Although it seems like all negatives to the community because they have lost their childhood store or restaurant, there are positives
