spatial inequality

Mexican sppatial inequality

QuestionAnswer
Rural Decline Worsening economic conditions in the countryside, including rising unemployment, and growing poverty. Rural decline drives migrations to cities.
Spatial Inequality The unequal distribution of wealth or resources in a geographic area, so that some places are richer than others
Standard Of Living The overall level of comfort and well-being of a group or a country. People in developed countries generally have a higher standard of living than people in developing countries.
Urbanization The movement of people from rural to urban areas, resulting in the growth of urban areas.
What is the main cause of rapid growth in Mexico City? Rural decline has caused more urbanization.
Why are people moving from the country to go to the cities? There is very little arable land in the countryside, only about 15 percent, so many go to the city to try their luck, to try and get a higher standard of living.
What is the effect that this mass migration has had on Mexico's cities? Urbanization just creates more problems. There are too many people and too little land. Clean water is scarce, and traffic jams are frequent. There is more pollution, poverty, and crime, because there are just too many people.
