Which of the following statements is not true about urbanization ?

  • A.Globally, more population lives in cities and towns than in villages presently
  • B.Rate of urbanization is faster in less developed countries than the more developed countries of the world
  • C.In India, majority of the urban population resides in Class-I cities
  • D.India is the first country in the world to develop smart cities

Answer: D

The statement that is not true is India is the first country in the world to develop smart cities.

Smart city projects existed elsewhere long before India's Smart Cities Mission was launched in 2015, for example Songdo in South Korea and Masdar City in the United Arab Emirates, and cities such as Barcelona and Singapore had adopted smart technologies.

The other statements are true. Since about 2007 more of the world's people have lived in urban than in rural areas. Urbanisation is now much faster in less developed countries than in developed ones, which are already largely urban. In India, Class-I cities (100,000 people or more) held about 70 per cent of the urban population at the 2011 Census.
