What Is The Process Of Urban Revolution?

In anthropology as well as archaeology, you will find use of the phrase urban revolution where it typically refers to the process wherein little, kin-based, illiterate agricultural villages get transformed into these big, socially intricate, civilized urban centres.

V. Gordon Childe, who was an Australian archaeologist, was the one who first introduces the terminology "urban revolution". Even though Childe at the time equated civilization with the concept of urbanism, there were other social scientists, while acknowledging a significant overlap, attempted to distinguish between various cultural phenomena typical of urban locales and those of "civilized" societies.

The term is also used to allude to the group of behaviours appearing to take place as people commence moving into cities. Such behaviours are deemed innovations. For instance, we have cultivation as well as domestication of crops, and mass production of objects.
