Give geographical reason: Not all rural settlements change into urban settlements.

Answer: Urbanisation needs favourable location and economic opportunities, which all villages do not have.

• A settlement becomes urban when its population grows and most of its workers shift from primary to secondary and tertiary activities.
• Villages located near cities, highways, industrial areas or with special resources grow fast and get urbanised.
• Remote villages in hilly, forested or drought-prone areas, without transport, industries or services, remain agriculture-based and small.
• Hence only some rural settlements change into urban settlements.
