What are the disadvantages of traditional closed cities?

The shackles of administrative divisions seriously restrict urban development.

Relevant stakeholders who fail to fully consider the impact of social and economic development. Emphasize the influence of the development of the city itself.

This kind of city has distinct characteristics: first, urban residents mainly move in from the surrounding countryside. With the development of the city, the surrounding rural areas have become urban areas, and farmers have naturally become citizens.

Secondly, because the population of traditional cities mainly comes from the surrounding areas, most urban residents take a certain dialect group as the main body.

Regional cities are also the centers of administrative divisions. When discussing the cities in China, Max Weber said that the ancient cities in China were very different from those in feudal Europe. The former is a military and political center, while the latter is a commercial and religious center. Traditionally, China took the city as the main political control center, and the modern China Revolution also took the road of encircling the city from the countryside.

Finally, China's traditional population policy is conservative and closed, and the strict restrictions of household registration on population migration have greatly promoted the development and continuation of regional cities. The traditional urban community in China has not divorced from the "rural" nature of the regional society, but moved the model of the regional rural society to the city, which can still be regarded as an acquaintance society in essence.
