Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Urbanizations in South Asia differ greatly from those in East Asia, mainly for three reasons:

The cities of East Asia are much more densely populated than the cities of South Asia. In East Asia, the population is located at 90% in cities, while in South Asia the urban population only reaches 70%. For example, 30% of the population of Japan (40 million people) live in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, its capital; while 6% of the population of India (82 million people) live in its most important metropolitan areas (New Delhi, Mumbai, Calculta, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad) grouped together.
