Nowadays, with the development of economy, people can also see the development of many cities. The development of a city can not only promote the development of the first people in this region, but also promote the development of the whole country, so there will be those first-tier cities in our country to promote economic growth. When it comes to the United States, many of their cities are developing very rapidly and excellently, among which the city of Los Angeles has to be said. More than a decade ago, the total GDP of Shanghai was $262 billion lower than that of Los Angeles. What is the gap now?
I. Development of Los Angeles
At the end of 19th century and the beginning of 2th century, Los Angeles was originally an Indian pastoral village, but due to the discovery of a large amount of oil in the area, the city of Los Angeles began to rise. At that time, the very hot gold rush at that time was covered, and Los Angeles became the largest city in the western United States. The development of Los Angeles should start with the implementation of Ford production line in 1913, when the development of American automobile industry ushered in a golden age. At this time, the oil industry in Los Angeles is in full swing with the popularity of the automobile industry. Later in 192, Los Angeles became the most important oil production base in America. After possessing important oil resources, some industries such as automobiles, aviation, shipbuilding and movies in Los Angeles have begun to develop. After that, the development of Los Angeles went on smoothly. Until the 195s, the manufacturing industry in Los Angeles became the third largest manufacturing city in the United States. With the continuous influx of population and funds, Los Angeles successfully transformed into a high-tech and modern service industry. Until the late 198s, Los Angeles became a super-big city with strength second only to new york.
second, dangerous los Angeles
why do you say that los Angeles is dangerous? Although the development here in Los Angeles is very good and the economy is very strong, people's living standards are naturally high. However, if you immigrate to Los Angeles, you must learn to protect your personal safety. Because the social environment in local Los Angeles is not so good, once at night, gangs here will often haunt. This is because of the geographical location of Los Angeles, which connects Mexico and faces the Pacific Ocean, so there are many Asian and Latino immigrants here. And because of racial problems, there are many people of different races here in Los Angeles, so the contradiction between races is also very obvious in Los Angeles. The local government is also actively reconciling the harmony between races, but the tension between ethnic groups changes with the change of the overall environment, and naturally it cannot be easily reconciled in one region.
Third, as the center of the western United States, Los Angeles
As the center of the western United States, there are a lot of trade, transportation and logistics here every year. In 218, it even became the port that transported the most goods in the western hemisphere. As such a big city, the total GDP of Los Angeles is naturally very high. In 27, the total GDP of Los Angeles reached $422 billion. In that year, the total GDP of Shanghai in China was $2,621 lower than that of Los Angeles. Even at that time, the total GDP of Shanghai plus Beijing did not exceed that of Los Angeles. Nowadays, with the economic development of our country, the total GDP of Los Angeles reached 787 billion US dollars in 218, while the total GDP of Shanghai reached 5 billion US dollars. Although it seems that the total GDP of Shanghai is still not as high as that of Los Angeles, since the area of Los Angeles is twice that of Shanghai, the total GDP of Shanghai has surpassed that of Los Angeles if calculated according to the same area.
