Why do the industrialisation and urbanisation go hand in hand ? Explain.
Industrialisation and urbanisation go hand in hand because sometimes industries are set up in or near the cities. The reasons for this are as mentioned below : Industries need different types of services such as labour, banking, transport, insurance and financial consultants. Such services are available in cities. In cities the manufactured products are sold. They become markets for these products and people are able to buy them according to their requirements. Availability of products attracts people from other parts to settle there. Thus, industrialisation leads to urbanisation. Sometimes many industries are set up together to make use of the advantage offered by the urban centres known as agglomeration economies. Gradually a large industrial agglomeration takes place. Thus, it is correct to state that the industries are located in or near the cities.
