Question

Give geographical reason

Not all rural settlements change into urban settlements.

Answer in Brief

Solution

  1. The areas between urban and rural area is called urban-rural fringe. It has characteristics of both urban as well as rural areas. 
  2. The towns away from the main city maintain their district identity. The quality of the services related to amenities and transportation are generally inferior.
  3. Beyond the urban fringe lies the rural fringe, consisting of villages only and partly affected by urbanisation. This area may be entirely rural, the only link with the city being the daily commuters.
  4. Thus, all rural settlements do not change into urban settlements.
