The Kerala society by and large can be termed as  urbanized. Kerala has been witnessing rapid urbanization since 1980. This paper focused on the trends and consequences of urbanization in Kerala. The main reason for urban population growth is the increase in the number of  urban areas and also urbanization of the peripheral areas of the existing major urban centers. The shift in the consumption pattern and the lifestyle of Kerala is an important consequence of urbanization and modernization.
