THE URBANIZATION IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The sustainable development of a society also depends on the evolution of the population. The level of education of the members of a community influences the economic development of an urban community. The lack of human capital leads to imbalances in the labor market. Highly developed regions are polarized around developed urban areas. The respective regions are marked by high degrees of economic and social development. The article presents an analysis of the level of education of the population in the developed urban areas of the member countries of the European Union. The promotion of sustainable development can be achieved by people with a high level of education. Under these conditions, the importance that must be given to human resources increases. Also, another indicator of development whose evolution is analyzed is the degree of urbanization. Urban areas influence the efficient use of human resources. A high degree of urbanization makes the urban potential better utilized.
