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 batch of people in this area, but also promote the development of the whole country, so there will be first-tier cities in our country to promote economic growth. Speaking of the United States, many of their cities have developed very rapidly and are excellent, and 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 difference now?

I. Development of Los Angeles

1At the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Los Angeles was originally an Indian rural 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, it covered the very hot gold rush, 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 19 13. At that time, 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. In the later 1920, Los Angeles became the most important oil production base in the United States. After possessing important oil resources, some industries in Los Angeles, such as automobile, aviation, shipbuilding and film, began to develop. After that, the development of Los Angeles was smooth sailing. Until 1950s, the manufacturing industry in Los Angeles became the third largest manufacturing city in the United States. With the continuous influx of population and capital, Los Angeles has successfully transformed into a high-tech and modern service industry. Until the end of 1980s, L.A. became a super-big city after new york.

Second, dangerous Los Angeles.

Why is Los Angeles dangerous? Although the development in Los Angeles is very good and the economy is very strong, the people's living standards are naturally high. However, if you immigrate to Los Angeles, you must learn to protect your personal safety. Because the local social environment in Los Angeles is not very 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. Moreover, because of racial problems, there are many people of different races in Los Angeles, so the contradiction between races is also very obvious in Los Angeles. The local government is also actively reconciling racial harmony, but the tension between ethnic groups changes with the changes of the overall environment, which naturally cannot be easily reconciled in one region.

Los Angeles is the center of American west.

Los Angeles is also the western center of the United States, where there is a lot of trade, transportation and logistics every year. In 20 18, it even became the port with the largest cargo transportation in the western hemisphere. In a city as big as Los Angeles, the total GDP is naturally high. In 2007, the gross domestic product of Los Angeles reached $422 billion. In that year, the total GDP of China and Shanghai was 262 1 USD lower than that of Los Angeles. Even then, the combined GDP of Shanghai and Beijing did not exceed that of Los Angeles. Nowadays, with the development of China's economy, the total GDP of 20 18 in Los Angeles has reached 787 billion US dollars, and that of Shanghai has reached 500 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, if calculated according to the same area, the total GDP of Shanghai has surpassed that of Los Angeles.
