Urbanization, or the growth of cities, erupted during the Industrial Revolution. Cities were a place of work, innovation, and technology. Over the course of fifty years (1850-1900) more and more people moved to the cities, which caused more and more problems in them. With these problems came solutions, and those solutions led to change. These changes could be good like movements to get cleaner water or having plumbing.
The Stonewall Rebellion of 1969 was a series of riots counteracting a violent police raid at Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, New York City, New York. Resulting from the years of mistreatment towards members of the LGBT community, the uprising was a work in progress that would heavily affect the way many viewed the community. The rebellion demonstrated the immense conflict became between the LGBT community and the rest of society and set the stage for future compromises to come in the close to fifty years following the uprising. The Stonewall Rebellion of 1969 had a significant effects on the United States socially, politically and religiously and was a catalyst for the future of the United States’ Gay Rights Movements. Background of Mistreatment
Cities improve due to innovation, but humans residing in them may not. The Industrial Revolution was a period in time where new inventions helped labor become less taxing and more efficient in the South. On the other hand, the North developed urban cities, which attracted many people. Urban cities had become the epitome of civilization: ease of life and wealth was present, but not available to everyone. To elaborate, these urban cities provided job opportunities to women.
8. Urbanization: • Urban population: 99% of total population (2016 est.) • Rate of urbanization: 3.0% annual rate of change (2015 est.) • Major cities – population: DOHA (capital) 344,939 (2016) 9. Sex ratio: • At birth: 1.02 male(s) / female • 0-14 years: 1.03 male(s) / female • 15-24 years: 2.75 male(s) / female • 25-54 years: 4.8 male(s) / female • 55-64 years: 3.37 male(s) / female • 65 years and over: 1.5 male(s) / female • Total population: 3.29 male(s) / female (2014 est.)
The population of India in 1997 was 997 million people and it was growing at a 1.7 percent annual growth rate, which is very high compared to other countries data. Another problem was that due to the high population there were not enough jobs for everyone, resulting in high unemployment and increasing poverty levels (Adlakha, 2). India was a very young nation at this time, it had only been 50 years since it gained its independence from Great Britain, so it was still inputting some basic infrastructure like: healthcare, educational system, and configurations of states and territories throughout the country. My father described to me the living conditions he was facing due to this population crisis growing. The apartment complex which he was raised in was very rural from a physical perspective.
2. Rapid Urbanization Urbanization has taken place at a very rapid rate in India and this has resulted in the genesis of a new breed of population called
Recently had the pride label as “Smart City”, It is also one of the fastest growing tier-II cities in India & a major hub for Manufacturing, Textiles, Education & Medical Fields. Political Factors: 1. Government focus is on Automobile Sector since it is a big source for revenue generation. 2.
In this context, the two different purposes that we distinguished above may be recalled. Even though from planning or resource allocation point of view, focus on districts can be justified, it serves very little purpose when it comes to social research. To tie the description of inequality or variation in achievements to a recognised social structure will make the description more pertinent to the political discussion. Rural-urban disparity, gender disparity, or disparity between scheduled castes (SC), scheduled tribes (ST) and non SC/STs are examples of more meaningful groupings from analytical point of view. The need for inter-district analysis, however, cannot be ignored either.
URBAN MENTAL HEALTH Urbanization being defined as the increase in the number of cities and urban population, is not only a demographic movement but also includes, social, economic and psychological changes that constitute the demographic movement. It is a process that leads to the growth of cities due to industrialization and economic development. The rapid increase in urban population worldwide is one among the important global health issues of the 21st century. In India approximately 28% of the India’s population lives in cities and this is expected to increase to 41% by the year 2020 (UN World Urbanization Prospects 2008).
There is a positive relationship between urbanization and education school enrolment at both primary and secondary level increases with urbanization. While enrolment in primary schools is less than 50% in regions with an urban population share less than 20%,
The percentage of urban area carries a positive sign in the local security and urban infrastructure and a negative sign in all other categories; it is significant only in the administration spending. Continuing, the CV does not seem to be a good measure of urban sprawl, its estimated parameters are insignificant in all the equations; in addition, its sign is negative in most estimation, the opposite of expected. On the other hand, the GI does a better job of capturing the urban sprawl effects, the estimated parameters for aggregate spending and spending on administration and environmental management are large and significant, additionally, it has a negative sign in the aggregate and administration spending, and a positive sign in the environmental management; in other expenditure categories, the estimated parameters are large, but not statistically significant. The estimated parameters for the dummy for medium concentrations show that the GI is not a determinant factor of the spending on administration and environmental management for cities of medium urban concentrations, suggesting that the effects presented by the GI are related to cities of high urban concentrations; however, the estimated parameter for the aggregate spending and spending on social assistance are positive and statistically significant. Lastly, urban population density has a positive and highly significant coefficient
The metropolitan cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, are flourishing day by day, inch by inch and step by step. Daily new technology is introduces, a new innovation takes place, a smart step is taken in big cities but we hardly hear any such news from places like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh. Today the scenario is that, the better is becoming best whereas to my dismay the worse is getting worst. As also mentioned earlier, the more focus of ours is on better, educated and urban people rather than those of rural people.
The new place not only lacks such avenues for meaningful employment, it also lacks most civic amenities” URBAN AREA is that place where the density of human population is higher and the human-built features are vast in number when compared to its surroundings. Cities, towns etc comes under the urban areas. Urban areas are created and developed through the process of urbanization. According the census of India 2011, the urban area is defined as: • The places which are well facilitated; like having municipal facilities, corporational facilities, cantonment board or notified town area committee, etc.
Rural development is as important as urban development. Alleviating the hardships of the rural people is fundamental to rural development. Efforts at developing the rural areas are aimed at creating industries and employment opportunities. Any initiative towards this end would be welcomed with open arms in Nepal. This would also reduce the population density in the cities.
