PROSPERITY

Urban areas are rich because Population causes Prosperity

In every sphere of life, it is the quality not quantity that matters in the course of prosperity. Urban areas are more prosperous than rural not because of quantity of population but because of quality and efficiency of population i.e. human resources. Urban people have more opportunities than rural people like easy access to education and many more services. Urban people are bit practical in their approach than rural people which makes them economically rich and prosperous. Rural people are relatively more stick to customs and traditions rather than moving along with changing time than urban people. Our each and every cell gets replenished after some time and our physical appearance also changes with time so why can not the customs and traditions. Darwin has earlier said that in the world of competition, the fittest will survive. This word fittest also talks of quality and efficiency. Natural resources are nothing without efficient human resources. Suppose if we have abundant natural resources in particular area, but if we do not know how to extract them then they will be of no use. China is more developed than India not because of large population but because of the quality and creativity of population. If it is the case that quantity of population causes prosperity, then why the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are less developed than states of Kerala and Karnataka. Population in urban areas is more educated and developed as compared to rural population which make the urban people rich and prosperous. Hence, it is true that urban areas are rich because population causes prosperity but it is the quality not quantity of population that causes prosperity.
