Answer 1

A region can be classified as developed or developing on the basis of land use.
1. Since urbanization was not well- planned, cities began to grow in an Unorganized manner.
2. Because of employment opportunities there, a large scale migration to cities occured.
3. As a result, the availability of land is always a serious problem in cities. A lot of diversity is visible in the land use of cities. Limited land, varied land uses and burgeoning cities resulted in the thought of having planned cities for the future.
4. Even before a city grows, its land use is pre-determined and a planned layout is prepared.
5. Accordingly, the cities are developed. Singapore, Seoul (South Korea), Zurich (Switzerland), Washington D.C. (USA), Brasilia (Brazil), Chandigarh, Bhubaneswar (India), etc. are all examples of planned cities.
