How do urban, rural, and suburban areas compare? Cities develop along with emigration resulting from technological and agricultural advances. Richer countries have a higher concentration of people in cities; poorer countries have fewer cities, but they tend to be megacities. Rural areas often have more poverty, exacerbated by globalization, which results in jobs moving to cities. The invention of the automobile led to the development of suburbs because people could drive to work and escape the negative aspects of urban living. Also, as minorities move into cities, wealthier White residents often move outward.
