Changing community social foundations in today's world amidst urbanization: the case of Russia, China and Vietnam

He processes of urbanization have spread all over the world. Cities have become a widely represented type of community with its inherent characteristics. Substantial changes in the economic and social life of humanity have been brought about by urbanization, which is twofold. On the one hand, there are many benefits for the development of the individual, the polis and the country as a whole; on the other hand, urban communities tend to develop all kinds of destructive behavior and conflicts, and the variety of goods provided contributes to an increasingly expensive cost of living. Urbanization processes entail major transformations in social life, transforming traditional rural and urban communities, resulting in population stratification, the spread of inequalities, environmental degradation and the impoverishment of rural citizens who are unable to find work in an urban environment of technocratic innovation. The high level of conflict in the social environment leads to an increased level of anxiety in the city's population.
