URBAN ZONE

 The definition of an urban area varies according to the country in which it is described. In general, it is considered that an urban area is characterized by being permanently inhabited by more than 2,000 inhabitants. The updating of urban development models has caused population density, geographical extension and the planning and creation of infrastructures to combine to be key factors in the delimitation of this class of areas.

Although it is not correct to generalize, it can be said that urban areas tend to have a higher surface price and a lower presence of employment in the primary sector than rural areas. On the other hand, urban areas offer a greater range of resources for people's survival .

In this sense, it should also be emphasized that more and more the different authorities of these cities are working at full capacity to ensure that their inhabitants not only have a greater number of resources to survive but also that they have the necessary mechanisms to enjoy a greater quality of life.

This higher quality of life is being tried to achieve, for example, through what is technology. How? Developing endless projects and initiatives with which it is possible to make it easier for citizens to carry out various daily tasks and also to enjoy a much healthier environment.

Clear examples of this are what are called smart cities. These are cities that are incorporating a series of technological systems that achieve the two types of objectives mentioned. Thus, for example, they are being implemented from devices that inform them of where there are free parking spaces to electric cars that considerably reduce the emissions of gases that bring pollution.

And all this without forgetting the use of renewable energies that is being imposed in these cities in which sunlight, wind or even the movements of the inhabitants are used to generate the energy that is needed without having to do use of existing resources and that bring with them a greater degradation of our natural environment.

Urban areas such as cities tend to stand out for the development of their secondary ( industrial ) and tertiary ( services ) sector. While the products and services of the city influence the behavior of the countryside, it supplies agricultural and livestock goods to urban regions.

In general, the urban space exceeds the city limits itself, since large peripheral metropolitan areas tend to develop nucleated around it.

It should be noted that, according to experts, the urbanization rate constitutes the demographic index that allows calculating and knowing the percentage relationship that exists between the urban population (that is, those who live in cities) and the total population of a nation. The higher that number, the higher the level of development is assumed .

According to their characteristics, it is possible to distinguish between different classes of variables. The quantitative variables are those that adopt numerical values (ie, numbers).
