Different types of urban communities present different characteristics in material space, property rights relationships, population structure, organizational mode, residents’ class and status, neighborhood relationships, community, social participation and other dimensions; these differences are mainly caused by class differentiation and social mobility, and they are also affected by such traditional institutional factors as units and urban and rural registered permanent residence.
