Cycle of Urbanisation

• Re-urbanisation can be seen as an attempt to reverse some of the negative impacts of urban sprawl on the environment.
• Re-urbanisation involves the regeneration of old industrial sites or abandoned buildings into new residential or commercial developments.
• Urbanisation: Moving from rural areas to cities.
• Suburbanisation: Moving from the CBD/Inner-city to the suburbs.
• Counter-Urbanisation: The movement of people from the city to the countryside (rural areas).
• Re-Urbanisation: People moving back to cities.
