Which type of country experiences slow rates of urbanisation and is considered high-income?

A developed country is characterized by a high-income economy and advanced technological infrastructure. These countries often experience slow rates of urbanization due to several factors. Primarily, a significant percentage of the population might already be living in urban areas, which means that there is less room for rapid urban growth compared to countries still undergoing development.

Additionally, developed countries typically have established urban centers with well-developed services and amenities that reduce the need for rural migration to cities. Instead, urbanization in developed countries may be more about the growth of suburban areas rather than massive shifts of the population from rural to urban settings. This stability contributes to slower urbanization rates, distinguishing them from emerging and developing countries, which often still see significant migration from rural areas as populations seek better economic opportunities in cities.
