Jakarta

Urbanization is defined by the United Nations as movement of people from rural to urban areas with population growth. I have lived in Jakarta for almost 9 years and though you don't see it everyday you know its happening because the city is getting more and more crowded. You also hear about it in the news. The traffic, pollution and people is increasing due to urbanization, though it may be good for Jakarta's economy its not helping the environment. Also many of the people who come into the city from agriculture have no where to live so they live on the streets.
