urbanization has caused the problems we see today

I live in Oklahoma I don't have to worry about any of this LOL

In Canada the power balance is non-existent.

Surround the city by the countryside ;D

Hurt

Cities hold 20-37 seats in Parliament, and entire territories often hold one.

But the urban seats can still control what happens to the rural territories.

depends on how many people live in each section

if cities have more people than territories then yeah that's justified

You can't have the city dwelling people decide what happens to rural areas like the northern territories.

I believe that is due to the territories having an insufficient population to do so

They can't begin to understand what life is like without being there, they banned the seal hunt and demanded that the people in the tundra start building greenhouses for food. :U

I personally agree with you, the people living in the rural regions should decide for themselves but like

how many people really leave out there?

Tens of thousands.

yikes

It's just that the power scales are tipped grossly in favour of the cities, and our leaders have never been out to rural areas unless they are the MP for one of those areas.

nuke the cities?

full of degenerates anyways

best solution

Cities need to focus less on "Education" and more on teaching.

ever since the industrial revolution, with each passing year it becomes more and more advantageous to live in a city

which explains hwy half the world lives in cities

Everybody needs a little bit of Elbow Room

2.8 billionto be exact-ish

The university students are some of the dumbest people I've ever met, not in their fields, but most everything else...

eh, i hate living in a city, the only nice thing is the proximity to some stores. However i really need room to develop and that I have in the rural areas

Almost 90% of people live right beside water

the city gives you internet connections, stores, education, etc..

@Summī Imperator, 呪い殿 I understand that feeling, going to my uni 90% are incompetent in their field, and other fields as well

not to mention many more

todays uni is more being good at tests not understanding shit

People don't learn to cook anymore

People don't understand how plants and trees grow.

ahem blue apron

I have internet, roads, stores, church etc. all near my property

then again polish rural areas are veyr different

You can blame fast food for that

usually you have a "center" where people have suburban conditions with simply more land. Artisans and other stores etc. there. Then you ead out some 15 min or less and you have the rural area.

i walk 15 min to get to the edge of the "village"

When he said urbanization do they mean more cities or higher populations of them or both
