The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It describes the population shift from rural to urban areas, the corresponding decrease in the proportion of people living in rural areas, and the ways in which societies and culture adapt to this change.
- Rather than strictly referring to the absolute number of people living in urban environments, Urbanization refers to the proportion of the total national population living in areas classified as urban.“It is predicted that by 2050, about 77% of the developing world and 96% of the developed world will be urbanized.”.
- This is predicted to generate artificial scarcities of land, lack of drinking water, playgrounds and other essential resources for most urban dwellers.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Urbanization article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 83: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
How to get Urbanization
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
