What you said can be summarized as urbanization

Definition:

Urbanization, also known as urbanization and metropolitanization by some scholars, is the historical process of gradual transformation from a traditional rural society dominated by agriculture to a modern urban society dominated by industry and services, including the transformation of the population's occupations, the transformation of the industrial structure, and the change of the land and the territorial space. Different disciplines have different interpretations from different perspectives. At present, scholars at home and abroad have elaborated on the concept of urbanization from the perspectives of demography, geography, sociology and economics.

The process of urbanization:

Cities appeared as early as the period of transition from primitive society to slave society. However, the development of cities and the increase of urban population were extremely slow in a fairly long historical period. Until 1800, the urban population of the world accounted for only 3% of the total population. Only in modern times, with the industrial revolution, the emergence of machine industry and socialized mass production, the emergence and development of the capitalist mode of production, the emergence of many new industrial and commercial cities, making the rapid growth of the urban population, the urban population ratio continues to rise. From 1800 to 1950, the total population of the earth increased by 1.6 times, while the urban population increased by 23 times. In the United States, 1780 to 1840 of the 60 years, the urban population accounted for the proportion of the total population only from 2.7% to 8.5%. 1870, the United States began the industrial revolution, the proportion of the urban population accounted for no more than 20%, and in 1920, the proportion of the sudden rise to 51.4%. From the perspective of the whole world, the proportion of urban population was 13.6% in 1900, 28.2% in 1950, 33% in 1960, 38.6% in 1970 and 41.3% in 1980. So, the process of urbanization began with the emergence of modern industry and the creation of capitalism.

The degree of urbanization is an important symbol of a country's economic development, especially the development of industrial production. Due to the differences in natural conditions, geography, total population size and the imbalance of socio-economic development, the level and speed of urbanization vary greatly from country to country. The degree of urbanization in the economically developed industrialized countries is much higher than in the economically backward agricultural countries; in 1980, the proportion of the urban population in the countries of the developed regions averaged 70.9 per cent, with 77 per cent in the United States of America, 78.3 per cent in Japan, 84.7 per cent in the Federal Republic of Germany, 90.8 per cent in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and 75.5 per cent in Canada. In developing countries, the proportion of urban population is 30.1% on average, and many of them are less than 20%.

Cities are the symbol of human civilization and the center of people's economic, political and social life. The degree of urbanization is an important symbol for measuring the economic, social, cultural, scientific and technological level of a country and region, as well as for measuring the degree of social organization and management level of a country and region. Urbanization is a process through which human progress is inevitable, an important clue in the structural change of human society, and after urbanization, it marks the realization of the goal of modernization. Only after the baptism of urbanization can mankind move forward to a more glorious era.

Basic forms:

The three basic forms of urbanization are: centralized urbanization, decentralized urbanization, and old-land urbanization. In different regions of China at different times, various forms of urbanization play their respective roles. in October 1991, the journal Nature Information published a monograph by Zeng Bangzhe (Zeng Jie) proposing that the path of township urbanization and the industrialization of solar energy, electronics, and biotechnology, in order to avoid the overly centralized development of the city leading to population, transportation, and other metropolitan problems, should be the urbanization strategy with the urban agglomerations and the towns networked. In the analysis of the three forms of urbanization process, through the above our understanding of the meaning of urbanization, combined with the actual situation in China, we can recognize the various forms of urbanization process produced by some of the factors hindering the urbanization process in China.
