What about urbanization comparing countries?
Nowadays, I am working in a very interesting cooperating work in a subject called "internationalization strategies" and the project's name is X-culture.
X-culture is a real-life project in which you must complete a company case with partners in other countries, which means also different cultures and also one of the most complicated things, the time difference between countries, for example in Colombia is 10am and in Thailand is 10pm, so it is very difficult to manage.
I have a partner that is a girl from Botswana (a country in South Africa), and it is very peculiar because even if she has access to the internet, she tells us that most of the cities of the country don't have even a good infrastructure in terms that they don't have street or it is very difficult to have access to electricity. That makes me question if the urbanization is well done in terms that the population in the country is very small, just 2.2 million people, and most of those persons do not even have the possibility to live in a good city with a good urbanization infrastructure and all the things involve just like clean water or electricity, so how can we consider this country? Of course, it is an advance that some cities have a good infrastructure, but I get the impression that most of the country's territory is kind of forgotten and has a lot of potentials.
Otherwise, for me is fascinating to have a partner there and delete that common stereotype that all the African continent is very underdeveloped because even knowing that they have a lot of work to do, there are some cities and countries even more developed than thought.
Hi Jacob, Im Daniel M Valencia, I identify a lot with this entry since I did the same project in the same class, and I think you explained it very well and everything you said is totally true, I hope you finish your project well and that you can learn much more about the infrastructure and the process of urbanization of other countries.
