The smart city modernization redefined urban life and urbanization became a mandatory precondition to modernization. As the urban-rural relationship experienced a pragmatism shift, the new socio-political environment put villages at the back stage.
Village resources were drained out to support urban life and a dependency of rurals upon urbans was created. As a result, urbanization has increased rapidly and while discussing the impacts of urbanization on young urban areas, it creates an unpleasant
picture where access to education, basic services, exploitation in work place and security, puts a huge question mark.
