What idea was the policy of assimilation based on? * 1 point the idea that colonizers can be enriched when adapting to the native culture of an area idea that local people would eventually be absorbed into the colonizer's country idea that native populations know what's best for survival in that area idea that local people deserve the right to maintain their native culture?

I believe the answer is:  that local people would eventually be absorbed into the colonizer's country idea 
The policy  of assimilation is based on the perception that the dominant culture would dictate the things that would be perceived as acceptable in the society, and the others culture would eventually has no choice but to conform. This policy fail to consider the group of people who are willing to perceive their original culture no matter what the situation they might face.

Urban growth invariably feeds increased commercialization and industrialization. it requires continually expanding land areas. when urbanization rates are high, and countries do not have the institutional and managerial capacities or economic wherewithal to manage such rapid growths, they exert intense pressure on the types and nature of the resulting settlements. they contribute to the development of overcrowded slums and shanty towns without adequate essential services and necessary infrastructure.-by asit k. biswas and cecilia tortajada
