Anti-urbanism

Dear little one, do you know what a city is? It's a place where lots of people live and work together! But did you know that some people don't like cities very much? That's called anti-urbanism!

Anti-urbanism means that some people think that cities are bad, and they want to live somewhere else instead. They might think that cities are too dirty, too crowded, or too noisy. They might also think that cities are dangerous or that they make people unhappy.

Sometimes people who are anti-urbanism might want to live in a small town or out in the countryside instead. This is because they think that these places are calmer and more peaceful than cities.

But not everyone thinks that anti-urbanism is a good idea. Some people believe that cities are important because they bring people together and help them work and learn from each other. They also think that cities can be fun and exciting places to live with lots of things to do and see!

So there you have it, little one! Anti-urbanism means not liking cities and wanting to live somewhere else instead. But some people think that cities are important and fun places to be!
