Made into city
Urbanised is the British spelling of urbanized.
It describes areas that have been developed with buildings, infrastructure, and population density characteristic of cities and towns: The once-rural valley has become heavily urbanised.
Land or regions become urbanised through migration, construction, and economic development.
People may also be described as urbanised when they've adopted city ways.
