Definition
The present participle of citify; the process of making something more urban or city-like.
Etymology
Present participle form of 'citify,' formed by adding '-ing' to the base verb; participial form became common in 19th-century discussions of urban expansion.

The continuous form captures the ongoing nature of urbanization—it's not a one-time event but a continual process that shaped the modern world.
