Question

After an industrial activity starts urbanisation follows. Explain

Answer 1

1. Manufacturing activity tends to locate at the most appropriate place where all the factors of industrial location are either available or can be arranged at lower cost.
2. After an industrial activity starts, urbanisation follows. Industrialisation and urbanisation go hand in hand.
3. Cities provide markets and also provide services such as banking, insurance, transport, to the industry.
4. Gradually a large number of labourers attracted by the jobs and opportunities migrate to this city and urbanisation increases rapidly and often uncontrolled.
5. Many industries tend to come together to make use of the advantages offered by the urban centres known as agglomeration economies.
