Population Policy

Abstract

Population density and quality are important factors which determine the success of a new urban area. Enterprises and industries have economies of scale, so does the urban population. Without a certain number of people, the new area is less animated and lacks business atmosphere. The operation of the municipal public facilities, the development of housing and real estate, and the development of tertiary industry are all constrained. Industry and population are always two complementary wheels of urban development. Something went wrong with the wheels which led to the bankruptcy of Detroit, a car city in the US. There are now a lot of people who are in ignorance of it and fail to provide decent measures and policies. Meanwhile, we realize that without a qualified population it is hard to develop high-tech and high-value-added industry, hence the city is less competitive. Therefore, we should study and implement a population policy.
