Urban geography is that branch of science, which deals with the study of urban areas, in terms of concentration, infrastructure, economy, and environmental impacts.
Contents
- Distribution patterns of urban density functions, geographical requirements
- Migration patterns of people in urban areas (commuting, shopping, etc.)
- The spatial distribution of urban problems such as traffic offenses
- Flow distribution due to urban growth and decline
