Rural civilization, evaluated according to criteria specific for the industrial era, appears to be an obsolete and useless system. The village is considered an underdeveloped form of the town (hence calls to reduce civilizational disparities between villages and towns). It is believed that civilizational development takes place only in towns, and if it occurs in rural areas, it is delayed and inferior. The glorification of the industrial era marked rural areas for elimination, thus removing the distinction between rural and urban areas. Nevertheless, there is increasing evidence that such a division is rational and useful in the long run. Furthermore, its restoration is reasonable in the areas where changes toward total urbanization have gone too far.
