Reflections on the Transition from Industrialization to Urbanization

One track of human evolution is that more people leave the land and integrate into the city. Rara Xv

I never thought I would read this kind of book before, but I always felt it was obscure. The things mentioned in it were too far away from me, and it was useless to read it. But this time is different. Since I began to pay attention to Mr. Xu Yuan, I was moved by his knowledge and expression. So when I saw such a book published by Mr Xu Yuan, I immediately bought it and tried to read it. I didn't expect to gain a lot.

What impressed me most about this book is: Where did China's economy come from and where is it going?

Great changes have taken place in China since the reform and opening up. After 40 years' efforts, it has become the second largest economy in the world from a backward developing country. I believe that every young person and middle-aged and elderly people have a deep understanding of the great changes in their lives. While we are happy, we should think about how China has come step by step and how to move towards the future better.

Since the reform and opening up from 65438 to 0978, China has lagged behind advanced countries in various technologies. Most of the population is concentrated in rural areas, and agriculture is the largest industry in China. Soon, we solved the problem of food and clothing. The State Council, the Party Central Committee, decided to develop industry because it is easy to copy. If we form cooperation with large foreign companies and invest money, the manpower can be started immediately. The country has capital, and we are not short of manpower, so industrialization develops rapidly and well, so today China has become the largest manufacturing country in the world. Industrial technology also ranks among the top in the world. This is the reason why our industrialization is ahead of schedule.

With the development of industry, people's pockets are getting bigger and bigger. Many farmers don't want to stay in the countryside to farm. After all, the income from going out to work is much higher than that from farming, so they began to walk into factories and cities. More and more people enter cities, thus creating more and more demand in cities, and then a large number of service industries emerge, and most people's lives have changed from industrialization to urbanization. Due to the advanced technology, fewer and fewer people are needed by industry, and then a large number of people flood into the service industry, so the GDP of service-oriented cities begins to surpass that of industrialized cities. These trends show that the future development direction lies in cities.

Let's talk about the house price. Why urban housing prices are high, let's analyze them. Rural areas are vast and scattered, with low population density, and all kinds of infrastructure and business outlets are not cost-effective, that is, the use efficiency is not high. Take a bank outlet as an example: set up a business point in a village to serve the people in a village. Suppose a village has 1 1,000 households, each with 4 people, so the maximum service capacity is 4,000 people. Cities are different. Set up a business point in a street, there may be several communities, and some communities have tens of thousands of people. In this way, the storage capacity and efficiency of business outlets are much more efficient than those in rural areas. Therefore, many enterprises are willing to put more convenient services in cities. Then tell me about someone. Many rural people will feel uncomfortable when they go to work in the city and return to the countryside, because they can't enjoy the convenience of the city in the countryside, especially the young people, who can't enjoy the wonderful nightlife, order takeout and eat all kinds of delicious food in the countryside. In this way, they still prefer to live in the city. In this way, more and more people will flood into the city, so the house price in the city will be pushed up. In fact, there are many reasons for the rise in house prices, so I won't elaborate. In short, it is a sentence: the main reasons for the rise in housing prices are urbanization and economic growth.

Industrialization tells us where a happy life comes from, while the process of urbanization tells us where a happy life should go, so: Do you understand?
