Cultural convergence refers to the process by which different cultures become more similar or start to share common traits and practices. This can happen through various means such as globalization, technological advancements, and increased communication.
Cultural convergence can homogenize urban landscapes with similar architecture, retail outlets, and public spaces. It affects migration by creating familiar environments for migrants but may also reduce the distinctiveness of local cultures. Economically, it can create new markets for goods but might undermine traditional industries.
