Globalization refers to the increasing integration of economies, societies, cultures, and populations through the movement of goods, capital, technology, information, and people across national boundaries. In developing countries, globalization has produced significant changes in population distribution, settlement patterns, economic activities, and social structures. From the perspective of Population and Settlement Geography, globalization has influenced demographic trends, urbanization processes, migration patterns, and regional development. One of the major impacts of globalization on developing countries is the acceleration of urbanization. The expansion of global industries, multinational companies, and service sectors has created employment opportunities in urban centres. As a result, many people from rural areas migrate towards cities in search of better jobs, education, healthcare, and improved living conditions. This rural-to-urban migration has contributed to the rapid growth of metropolitan cities and the emergence of megacities in developing countries. Cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Dhaka, and São Paulo have experienced substantial population growth due to their increasing connections with the global economy. Globalization has also transformed settlement structures by creating new economic zones, industrial corridors, and urban centres. Development of transport networks, communication systems, and infrastructure has encouraged the expansion of settlements around industrial and commercial areas.
