Answer 1

Urban- city
Rural- country
Suburban- outskirts of city

These definitions are becoming obsolete though because the cities, countries and the outskirts there of are becoming more and more alike due to large corportations allowing all to have the same opportunties at the costs of creating a cookie cutter world.

Answer 2

An urban area is an area with an increased density of human-created structures in comparison to the areas surrounding it. This term is at one end of the spectrum of suburban and rural areas. An urban area is more frequently called a city or town.

Urban areas are created and further developed by the process of urbanization. Measuring the extent of an urbanized area helps in analyzing population density and urban sprawl, and in determining urban and rural populations.

Unlike an urban area, a metropolitan area includes not only the urban area, but also satellite cities plus intervening rural land that is socio-economically connected to the urban core city, typically by employment ties through commuting, with the urban core city being the primary labor market. This makes metropolitan areas a less relevant statistic for determining per capita land usage and densities.



Rural areas (also referred to as "the country", countryside) are sparsely settled places away from the influence of large cities. Such areas are distinct from more intensively settled urban and suburban areas, and also from unsettled lands such as outback or wilderness. People in rural areas live in villages, hamlets on farms and in other isolated houses.

Rurality can also be determined by the amount of people per square mile (population density). An area with a low population density can be determined as more rural than a place that has a high population density.

In modern usage, rural areas can have an agricultural character, though many rural areas are characterized by an economy based on logging, mining, petroleum and natural gas exploration, or tourism.

Lifestyles in rural areas are different from those in urban areas, mainly because limited services, especially public services are available. Governmental services like police, schools, fire stations, and libraries are generally available, but may be limited in scope, or unavailable in remote communities. Utilities like water, sewerage, street lighting, and public waste management are generally present in the larger settlements. Public transport is limited or absent, people usually use their own vehicles. But if this is impractical they may walk, bicycle, or ride an animal such a horse, donkey, or camel depending on where they live.

Answer 4

urban regions: speed life, relations are purely mechanical.
rural regions: slow life, relations are mainly personal.

More specifically, "urban" consists of
territory, persons, and housing units in:

1. Places of 2,500 or more persons incorporated as cities,
villages, boroughs (except in Alaska and New York), and
towns (except in the six New England States, New York,
and Wisconsin), but excluding the rural portions of
"extended cities."

2. Census designated places of 2,500 or more persons.

3. Other territory, incorporated or unincorporated,
included in urbanised areas.

RURAL:
Territory, population, and housing units not classified as
urban constitute "rural." In the 100-percent data products,
"rural" is divided into "places of less than 2,500" and "not in
places." The "not in places" category comprises "rural" outside
incorporated and census designated places and the rural portions
of extended cities. In many data products, the term "other
rural" is used; "other rural" is a residual category specific to
the classification of the rural in each data product.
