An is characterized by higher population density and vast human features incomparison to areas surrounding it. Urban areas may becities, townsorconurbations, butthe term is not commonly extended toruralsettlements such asvillagesandhamlets.

Urban areas are created and further developed by the process ofurbanization. Measuringthe extent of an urban area helps in analysingpopulation densityandurban sprawl, and indetermining urban and rural populations.Unlike an urban area, ametropolitan areaincludes not only the urban area, but

alsosatellitecities plus interveningruralland that is socio-economically connected to theurban core city, typically byemploymentties throughcommuting, with the urban core citybeing the primary labour market. In fact, urbanized areas agglomerate and grow as thecore population/economic activity centre within a larger metropolitan area or envelope.

In the US, Metropolitan areas tend to be defined using counties or county sized politicalunits as building blocks of much larger, albeit more condensed population units. Countiestend to be stable political boundaries; economists prefer to work with economic and socialstatistics based on metropolitan areas. Urbanized areas are a more relevant statistic for

determining per capita land usage and densities

Rural areas or thecountry orcountryside are areas of land that arenoturbanized, though when large areas are described, countrytownsand smallercities will be included. They have a lowpopulation density, and typically much

of the land is devoted toagricultureand there may be less air andwaterpollutionthan in an urban area. The degree to which areasofwildernessare included in the term varies; very large wilderness areas are not

likely to be described by the term in most contexts. In most parts of the world rural areas have been declining since the 19thcentury or earlier, both as a proportion of land area, and in terms of theproportion of the population living in them. Urbanizationencroaches on rural

land, and themechanization of agriculturehas reduced the number of workersneeded to work the land, while alternativeemploymentis typically easier toobtain in cities. In parts of thedeveloped worldurban sprawlhas greatly

reduced the areas that can be called rural, andland use planningmeasures areused

to rotect the character o rural areas in various wa

An urban area (Latin Urbs = city) is built up with roads,houses, shops, offices, entertainment centres, public buildings,

etc.

A rural area (Latin Rus = countryside) is not built up but iseither still in its natural wild state or given over to farming.Rural areas are ares with a low population per square mile,generally with a lot of farm land and open space. An urbanarea is a relatively large to huge city, often with buildings over

10 stories high, no farmland, and a much denser population

rural areas are settled places outside towns and cities.they can have an agricultural character,though many

rural areas are based on natural gas, petroleum, etc...rural areas are less modern and open than urban areas.

people there are probably more attached to theretraditions and beliefs. We don't usually see the societymoving, and i mean by that, seeing the populationchanging habits, accepting other cultures and adoptingsome, etc. however we do found in rural areas hospitals,

schools, and banks

An urban area is an area with an increased density of human-createdstructures in comparison to the areas surrounding it.Urban areas may becities, towns or conurbations...Unlike an urban area, a metropolitan areaincludes not only the urban area, but also satellite cities plus interveningrural land that is socio-economically connected to the urban core city,typically by employment ties through commuting, with the urban core citybeing the primary labour market.

there cultures and there beliefs and share them and that's what makethem a very modern society. they care most about technology,communication, economy, etc. and always look forward to develop and

extend markets, diversification products
