Urbanisation, ‘the process by which more and more people leave the countryside to live in cities’ or ‘proportion of people living in built environments such as towns and cities’.

There is currently no consensus over the definition of an urban area and hence estimates of urbanised land and urban populations vary (Ritchie 2018).
