Growing migration to urban areas - implications for rural communities Hello, I am currently graduating in high school and will have to write an essay about 250 words in my final exam. I would like to improve my writing skills, therefore I'm looking forward to every correction and/or tips on how to improve my writing. Thank you very much! Urbanisation symbolizes the high migration to urban areas rather than living in the country. It is a long-know process that started in the 18th century. The population moved to the cities in prospect of finding better jobs during the industrialisation. Since then the urbanized society increased steadily and the implications for the rural communities are appalling. First, mostly the younger generations convert to urbanites. Therefore the elderly remain in the rural areas, which changes the daily life and infrastructure for their benefit. For instance, the public transportations system is based on the needs of the elderly, that complicates to catch a bus after a party night. Furthermore the weekly church service is filled with seniors and attendance is getting lower because the older people are becoming extinct. Moreover, the increasingly urbanized society causes a loss of rural traditions. The declining rural population fails to observe traditional beliefs and events. In my village there had been a frequent used advertising pillar, however nowadays the event rate decreased to a minimum. Only the two main festivals, fun fair and Christmas market, still exist. Finally, the growing emigration from rural areas causes a vicious circle. Relict villages own inadequate infrastructure, less shops and social life. Consequently rural immigration gets less attractive and the population density is declining further. Less residents lead to closing shops and complicate a proper supplement chain. In conclusion urbanisations is a still existing problem that must be considered highly. There is no solution for 200 years and none is in sight in future.
