Automation

Automatization is the technology by which a process or procedure is performed with minimal human assistance. It is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications and vehicles.

Urbanisation

Urbanization is the spread of urban forms of life. On the one hand, this can be expressed in the growth of cities, on the other hand, by infrastructural development of rural regions comparable to urban standards and by changed social behaviour of the inhabitants of rural areas.
