My Beliefs

Urban communities are described to be usually large, with the people engaged in varied occupations such as manufacturing, commerce, industry, the profession, or government jobs. A city is something more than a large aggregation of people, buildings, and not-agricultural occupation, characterized by complex, impersonal, and social relations. A city may also refer to an internally organized community containing spatially several kinds of sub areas like central business district and secondary commercial areas. Socially, it includes a variety of institution, class, and groups, which are functionally integrated. Due to the large population of the city, there are diverse and complex structures.

Heterogeneity leads to a high degree of specialization and division of labor resulting in interdependence among the people. Contacts tend to be impersonal and anonymous. The density of the city’s population also affects the complexity of social structure. The social institutions are more distinct in the urban areas than in rural areas. Complex forms of economic institution are put up to keep the people abreast of economic advances.
