An urban area in New Zealand is defined as 1000 or more people. That's not a city.
Our biggest city, Auckland, is 70% rural by land area.
A great deal of business in urban areas is in support of rural activities.

i mean, just because you make sheep shearing machines and the sheep shearing machines wouldnt be made w/o the sheep doesnt mean that the sheep shearing machine factory is rural economic development

the necessary expertise and the technology for mechanized farming and oil poo poo and other stuff comes from the cities. and its the technology and expertise that makes new zealand logging and poo poo more productive than, say, congolese or brazillian logging

rural economic development initiatives have a brutally high failure rate. when they have not failed, they have made the region they were developing not rural anymore

prc has had the "lets make the region not rural anymore" with lots of success, and now its looking like they'll try "lets keep the region rural" and that is a thing w a hell of a lot less success rate historically

my inderstanding of the messaging behind the chen xiwen law and his whole dealio is that its about "rural revitalization"

which is prolly not gonna be a thing

forex, hes real pessimistic about the continued growth of urbanization in "Forty years of rural reform in China: retrospect and future prospects", and they did the weird shimmying around w goals for the 5 year plan ending 2020 for urbanization, which he admits in the paper was a bust

In many parts of the English speaking world, 1000 people is enough for a city. Some places do not distinguish between cities and towns. Texas, for example, has no townships. The minimum size you need for a municipality in TX is 600 people. You cannot be a "home rule city" with your own charter and such until you reach 5000 people, but there are plenty of tiny cities all over Texas. The same is true throughout the United States.


I grew up in a 14k person city in West Texas surrounded by millions upon millions of head of cattle. Hereford isn't what most Texans or Americans would think of as a city, but it absolutely is one legally. All of the business inside Hereford would be urban activity in support of the rural activity outside it. The money, though, was not in the city. The urban activity is next to nothing compared to the feed lots in the county.

In the UK a town can only become a city when it has a cathedral, not a church, so unless those podunk churches have bishops they remain villages or towns, no matter how big they grow.

No british bishop is a legitimate bishop, so unless your god-forsaken country coverts back to catholocism, the UK has absolutely zero cities.
