28、 upon a survey performed by socialists, almost 65% of the respondents regard urban life as their top priority, compared to 46% only a few years ago. Whats more, income gap between rural areas and urban districts accelerates the increasing population flow. Finally, under the background of globalization, cities can provide an easy access to the outside world and updated information.
