Push-Pull Factors" Please respond to the following:

Modern technological innovations, such as faster transportation and communication speeds, are helping to control migration to urban areas. Select a city of your choice and describe how push-pull factors affect the growth of the city.

Predict how the push-pull factors will play out in the next 10 years.

Answer There are a large number of social, political, economic reasons because of which people emigrate and leave their own city to go to a better place. The push factors are those factors which are associated with the area of the origin and whereas the pull factors are those which have been associated with the areas of the destination. The most important reason due to which the migration happens is the economic factor and it affects the economy of both the cities- the rural and the urban ones. These economic factors include the overpopulation and also the absence of the economic opportunity. Whereas the social and the physical reasons generally arise due to forced migration for example the fleeing of the people of Jews. In the coming years the people of India are willing to go more into the abroad countries since India is a developing country and the economic pull of the foreign countries is very good as compared to India and thus people are willing to go there for a better life.

And in the United States the government had started the policy of urban renewal and the building of large scale housing projects for the poor people and thus the renewal had demolished the entire neighborhood in a number of cities which caused an urban decay. Also in 1970 the state housing project had been totally demolished and destroyed and then rebuilt in an urban European style with retail and commercial parts too.
