Why is the progress of modern material civilization concentrated in the large coastal cities?

First of all, transportation, modern transportation is mainly waterway, land is not yet any transportation, so coastal cities take the lead in this point, the development is also the fastest, and the contact with the world is more, whether it is material or spiritual civilization development is more rapid.

With the development of modern scientific and technological civilization, the preface of marine development and utilization has gradually opened. The modern civilization of the world also began with the ocean. With its abundant resources, the ocean provides a favorable guarantee for the development of human material civilization.

In addition, the development of the maritime transportation industry has also made the sea an important route. Therefore, the concentration of modern large cities in the coastal areas is inevitable.

The coastal area has a good geographical advantage, which is conducive to the development of the sea, but also brings cultural and technological exchanges, technological progress and social and cultural diversification will inevitably lead to economic development, and at the same time, national policy support also makes its ability to create material civilization ahead of the inland areas.

For the West, especially Europe, it is not suitable for the development of plantation, through overseas ** and colonial plunder and expansion, capital accumulation, coastal cities have geographical advantages.

As far as the East is concerned, in modern times, it has been forced to open its doors to become a supplier of raw materials and a dumping country for Western capitalism, and the first to open up were the coastal cities.

The prosperity and development of the economy has objectively promoted the improvement of the local material living standards.

Modern transportation is dominated by the ocean, and the material development of coastal areas is driven by continuous circulation of products and products.

Convenient transportation and large cargo distribution throughput.

Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, China's transportation construction has undergone earth-shaking changes. Transportation facilities are one of the typical examples of material civilization. When I was a child, there was a twenty-mile dirt road from my hometown to Wuwei County, and as long as it didn't rain for a few days in summer, the road surface would be covered with a thick layer of soil.

When it rains, you will sink deep when you step on it, and the rubber shoes will stick to the ground and you can't pull it out. Children and the elderly sometimes slip and fall. Therefore, on rainy and snowy days, it is easy for people not to go out.

Then we have to go to the county seat occasionally, and we have to go on a sunny day. I remember that every time I walked first, and then my father and uncles would take turns carrying me to go.

It takes three or four hours to get to the city. Sometimes when I see a wheelbarrow pushed by a person, I am so envious that I really want to sit on it and let someone push it. But that costs money.

If you can see a bike, that's something you're proud of. Now, there are concrete roads to my hometown, and it's only a 40-minute bike ride. If you drive by car, it's 20 minutes.

What a change to think about!

If you want to answer this kind of question, the best thing is to write down all the good material civilization in modern China, what can you cite as material civilization, how is aerospace science and technology, what is wrong with God, how is railway transportation good, how fast is high-speed rail, how is people's living standards improved, anyway, as long as it is a good material civilization, it will be written (to distinguish spiritual civilization).

This influence must be said in the big picture, how good the country is for people, how good it is for people, how it contributes to international status, people's living standards, this kind of question, remember not to say what happened to the individual, the best format is what you wrote above, what material civilization is above, and the influence below should correspond to this writing, so that this question can be answered best.
