Modernisation of agriculture – machinery & chemicals means fewer
workers are needed on the land. They are pushed to the cities where
they hope to find work.
Rapid population growth – results from a high birth rate and a low
death rate
The decline of traditional industries such as textiles and
metal working means these people move to
large cities in search of work.The PULL of the city –
better housing, employment, education
services etc
