How has Urbanisation Affected the Geography of South Africa's Major Cities?

Urbanization has significantly transformed the geography of South Africa's major cities. Rapid population growth and rural-to-urban migration have led to the expansion of urban areas, resulting in increased demand for land and infrastructure. This has led to the development of informal settlements on the outskirts of cities, impacting the urban landscape. Additionally, the concentration of economic activities and employment opportunities in these cities has influenced their spatial organization and land use patterns. As a result, the geography of South Africa's major cities continues to evolve in response to ongoing urbanization processes.
