Definition
Urbanization is the shift of people moving from small towns into a bigger city.

Benefits of Urbanization
If people of the surrounding cities Los York, Loston, and Hallas all join in and urbanize in the city of New Angles they will have many benefits. It could bring more money into the city and open more job opportunities.
Problems of Urbanization
Housing
If we move everyone into one city it will get congested and we would need more compact housing quarters. Maybe we could expand the city limits or build bigger and taller building to house more people.
Transportation
With every big city becomes the problem of transportation. It is a easy problem to deal with if you approach it the right way. The city needs a subway installed, along with a taxi system and better sidewalks. With those three options I think it could eliminate the problem of traveling in a big city.
Water
Water will be an issue if we have many people moving into one area. Luckily the city is near the Great Lakes, being able to pull and filter water from there will be a big plus. As long as we have water lines that can sanitize the water and distribute it we will be okay.
Sanitation Crime
With more people comes more sanitation issues. I don't think it will be a huge problem within the city unless the people make it out to be.
Fire
There is more of a chance of fire with more people. Also if something does catch fire more then likely a lot of surrounding buildings will go up in flames also.
Issues Still Present?
Issues Today
I believe some of these issues are present today. Water is a problem in Las Vegas and other big cities in California at the moment. Whereas transportation isn't that big of an issue today.
