Learning Objective
I can compare and contrast the characteristics of urban, rural, and suburban communities.
- 1
In downtown Tianjin, many people live in older apartment buildings that were built in the 1980s and lack elevators or designated parking spaces.
- 2
The suburbs of Tianjin are more modern with newer infrastructure, and many residents are young people who have moved from rural areas to work in nearby industrial zones.
- 3
In rural Tianjin, the population has decreased as younger generations move to urban areas for work, leaving mostly elderly residents who maintain a traditional, agricultural lifestyle.
