         Social and economic impact of the urbanization
         Migration of population to urban areas has gotten increasing lately, which is why the statistics made
         some worrisome scenario that anticipate the weighting of the urban population and the impact of
         this process at the global level, as follows in the next figure:

         Urban areas have a powerful influence upon places as a result of several factors such as the degree
         of use of land or the infrastructure of market makers; the main social eects of this process are:
         •    Contact with the labor market: established in urban areas population adjusts to match the work
              market, specializing in the needs of existing brand and thus framing and adaptation, as well as
              winning amounts to cover every day needs

         •    Families and the urban society: it has been often seen a decline in the concept of the family,
              through the proliferation of less traditional forms and new types of households. This tendency
              is manifested as a consequence of the diversity of the many options for individuals, in which
              individuals are organizing into form collective units.
         •    Domestic relations: an increase in the rate of participation of women in the labor market, they
              became even decision makers who have had to balance professional responsibilities with the
              family responsibilities
         •    Fertility Rates: stepping from rural social space in urban space generates changes in the natural
              growth rate of population, the phenomenon manifested setting up smaller families, with a
              reduced number of members.
         •    State of health and pollution: development of new urban areas without complying with the
              necessary measures for the development of sustainable areas determine a negative impact
              both on the environment, but by the general condition of reciprocity and on the health of
              individuals, often aected by increased pollution levels in these areas, in particular the pollution
              of air and water.

         •    Access to education and training: access of the population of rural space set in urban space
              ensure their access to education, personal and intellectual development, which provide new
              features and modes of the evolution of the individual
         •    Poverty, lack of opportunities and problems of psychological adaptation: this overlapping of

         16     Volume-VII, 2019        Transformation does't take place with a vacuum; instead, it occurs when we are indirectly and
                                                      directly connected to all those around us. - Byron Pulsifer
