Urbanization impacts political representation by concentrating populations in cities, which can shift power dynamics and policy priorities. As urban areas grow, their residents often advocate for issues such as public transport, housing, and social services more prominently than rural populations. This shift can lead to greater political mobilization and potentially more progressive policies. However, rapid urbanization may also result in governance challenges, such as infrastructure strain and uneven resource distribution. Balancing urban and rural interests is crucial to ensure comprehensive representation and equitable development across regions.
