Question
Outline the importance/advantages of the Industrialisation.
Answer in Brief
Solution
- The development and concentration of industries in a region is a factor contributing towards urbanisation.
- An increase in industries leads to an increase in the hopes of people who are attracted towards these industries from surrounding areas. This increases the speed of urbanisation.
- In the 19th century, Mumbai grew rapidly because textile mills started on a large scale in Mumbai. Many villages, which were originally fishing villages (koliwadas), became part of the Mumbai metropolitan area because of industrialisation and urbanisation.
