Urbanization is among by far the most serious questions of last decades rela
ted to religion. And it goes without saying that religion must with its severity
face this issue and must inquire whether it has a capability of transforming
the modern society with a due religious language. This is one facet of the
issue. There still remain others to be answered such as whether urbanization
has the same advantages and disadvantages for all religions or it depends,
etc. This paper deals with the issue comprehensively but not in detail. It is in
a way an outline for the studies to be carried out in the future to this cause.
