India and China are faced with the possibility of more urbanization. To some, urbanization is the recipe for a promising economic future. Others feel that it means poverty for the people that would be affected. This course of the development will be dependent upon the way the Chinese and Indian governments handle the change.  According to Stephen Green, “There is a huge debate raging about urbanization and land reform, but it looks as if the party is moving in favor of small-town urbanization”. Researchers conclude that villages and cities are thrive upon each other. Urban life in India would not be a great endeavor yet it would be necessary for its potential growth.
This is a very relevant and important issue. In agreement with the author, I feel as if urbanization could be a positive or negative approach. Urbanization in this area will definitely create more jobs. Unfortunately, when new jobs are created other jobs are downplayed. The effects of job loss could be lessened. The Chinese and Indian governments could implement a plan to employ education and skills training in order to keep the population up to date with the urbanization.

  1. Good summary. The analysis could be a little more in depth. Try bringing in class discussion or readings. This is very short. The word count minimum is 250.
