Urban Society
The term urban simply refers to the region or area which is densely populated and possesses the characteristics of man-made surroundings. The people residing in such areas are engaged in trade, commerce or services. In this settlement, there is high-scale industrialization that results in better employment opportunities. A complex social life is found in which people of different races, professions, castes and religions live together. The urban settlement is not confined to the cities only, but towns and suburbs (suburban areas) are also included in it.
