Since the 20th century, China's economy has developed rapidly. The pace of urbanization is also accelerating, and some people will question this. What impact will the accelerating urbanization process have on rural areas? In fact, urbanization has both advantages and disadvantages. Today, let's discuss what positive and negative effects the accelerated urbanization will have on rural areas.

Positive impact:

(1) With the accelerated development of urbanization, the process of industrialization in China is also gradually accelerating, which is conducive to increasing farmers' income. Because urbanization promotes the efficiency of industrial production in a certain sense. There are more and more enterprises and factories, and many farmers have contracted land and found jobs in cities. Greatly improved the quality of life of farmers.

(2) The accelerated development of urbanization has promoted the adjustment of agricultural layout in China. The development of urbanization has reduced the number of farmers, increased the integrity of land, and provided a foundation for agricultural modernization.

(3) The development of urbanization is conducive to promoting the construction of rural infrastructure, and turning the originally closed and backward rural areas into open and developed cities. The quality of life of the rural population has been improved.

Negative effects:

(1) A large number of young laborers flow from rural areas to cities, and the rural areas lack vitality. The urbanization process has led to the abandonment of many cultivated lands. It has raised the prices of agricultural products and grain, and increased the living cost of rural population. In addition, too many rural people flock to cities, which has caused population and traffic pressure in cities. It has caused social problems such as left-behind children and left-behind elderly people, and left-behind elderly people and children in rural areas lack care. A large number of young and high-quality laborers flock to cities, which also affects the process of building a new socialist countryside.

Summary: Generally speaking, the advantages of urbanization outweigh the disadvantages. The characteristics of new urbanization are urban-rural integration, urban-rural integration, interaction between production and city, and coordinated development of urban and rural areas promotes each other. Urbanization is not for the sake of urbanization. Urbanization has effectively improved the quality of life and income of farmers.
