People wanted to live in cities because everything is closer together and easy to access.
The city of Shenzhen, China became urbanized quite quickly in the modern world, to think that less than 25 years ago, Shenzhen was all duck ponds and rice patties.
Urban - In or near a city
Rural - Farmish further from a city
Before urbanization, people often clustered in agricultural villages - a relatively small egalitarian village, where most of the population was involved in agriculture, and hunting and gathering.
