Abstract: Urbanization is a complex phenomenon that has evolved significantly over time, from classical theories that focused on physical aspects of cities to contemporary perspectives that highlight the role of actors and dynamics in shaping urban spaces. This paper aims to define the concept of urbanization and explore the transition from classical to contemporary urbanization theories. Results and conclusions are drawn by examining key literature and analysing methodologies under urban studies. Moreover, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of urbanization trends and theories.
