Modernization is an objective set of conditions ( a globalizing plenitude of new plenitudes) that became noticeable with particular force in the 1870s and has never really left us.
Modernity - by contrast - arose in frightened reaction against this sudden overwhelming plethora of plethoras and was/is a subjective condition - a mental state.

urbanization does not mean country people come into a city but that the city extends out to the countryside
It is alleged that under the modernizing forces of the 1870s and 1880s , huge cities suddenly sprung up around the world that were more crowded than the cities before them.
It is true that they were much bigger than traditional cities - but they were also less not more crowded than earlier cities.
This myth allows urbanization is be set off as the straw dog opposite of the co-current trend of globalization.
