Zelinsky’s mobility transition model

Phase 1: Pre-Modern: Ancient world, slow growth, movement
to cities

Phase 2: Early transition: massive movement to cities

cities
Phase 4: Advanced society: Cities have grown and more have
appeared. Movement to cities is leveling off
Phase 5: Future super-advanced society, countryside is mostly
gone, movement inter-city now
