Yeah but you just answered your own question there...the problem isn't urbanization but proper distribution and etc. There's too much in some places and not enough in others - that's not due to urbanization though.

The problem is not the distribution of physical resources, but the distribution of technology and the implementation of that technology which allows longer lives. Ie: basic medicine,, contraception, and agriculture. Furthermore, there lies a problem in the pattern of consumption experienced in the modern world. The "developed" nations of the world consume far more resources, in addition they do so much less efficiently (just think of the amount of food wasted in a typical N.Amer household..).

Of course this problem is much more complicated than the simple points I just made...
