Explain how theoretical perspectives regard children and adults as active contributors to their own development.

Given the ability to process information and critically think, theoretical perspectives tend to bring up the idea that both children and adults are, ultimately, active contributors of their own development. This is due to the fact that one is able to make their own decisions with their own free will in mind, as opposed to doing it at the will of another.

Urban growth invariably feeds increased commercialization and industrialization. it requires continually expanding land areas. when urbanization rates are high, and countries do not have the institutional and managerial capacities or economic wherewithal to manage such rapid growths, they exert intense pressure on the types and nature of the resulting settlements. they contribute to the development of overcrowded slums and shanty towns without adequate essential services and necessary infrastructure.-by asit k. biswas and cecilia tortajada
