The 2023 Chinese city rankings have been announced, with 18 first-tier cities and 34 second-tier cities!
Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has developed in just a few decades"Changing with each passing day", major cities are also scrambling, and the ranking of the wealth list is like a green and yellow.
The once enviable first-tier cities are no longer out of reach in the cycle of years, all cities are constantly developing, and new first-tier cities are constantly iterating.
In the past, people only saw"Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen"Judging from the recently released 2023 city list, many cities are among the first-tier cities, but they do not compromise with developed cities.
Among the more than 600 cities in China, it is believed that the pace of economic development cannot be slowed down to become a new first-tier city. In the new city rankings, the top 100 cities are divided into the following categories.
So, what is the basis for the division of cities?
In fact, the criteria for evaluating a city's development are mainly based on gross domestic product, and its values can accurately reflect the level of economic development of the city.
In recent years, in order to boost GDP, some provinces and cities have begun to use real estate and large-scale demolition and construction to boost GDP growth. In fact, this method is not rational, but has brought many hidden dangers to the lives of local residents and caused serious losses. At the same time, it has also added a lot of burdens to China's economic development, which is a bubble economy.
Of course, in addition to GDP, the development of the city should also be considered comprehensively. For example, in addition to livability and happiness index, transportation, science and education, medical care and other aspects are also the basis for evaluation. The development of cities is inseparable from the participation of residents. If living here is not a blissful experience, then it loses its most basic meaning.
Therefore, the overall development of the cities on the list is relatively balanced. What are the top 18 cities on the list?
In addition to the well-known"Northern, Upper and Wider"In addition, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Chongqing, Chengdu, Nanjing, Changsha, Qingdao, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Zhengzhou, Xi'an, Ningbo, Wuxi, Suzhou and Dalian are also included.
Of these cities, only Dalian has the lowest GDP figure at 8430900 million yuan. Compared to other cities, Dalian's economic gap is obvious, but it is still an emerging first-tier city and certainly has its own advantages. The main reason is the geographical location of Dalian, which is a coastal city and plays an important role in the city.
In the new round of rankings, Shanghai is still in first place, but Guangzhou has been replaced by Shenzhen in fourth place. In other words,"North and South Guangzhou"can be"North and South Shenzhen"It also shows that all cities are constantly adapting and evolving.
Which are the second-tier cities on the list?
Surprisingly, the most well-known cities such as Dongguan, Foshan and Shenyang are also included in the second-tier cities. Among the 34 second-tier cities, Hefei and Xuzhou are expected to become first-tier cities by looking at GDP data alone.
For several years, the city of Wuxi has been silently creating miracles. Wuxi's GDP has been growing steadily over the years, but the city's comprehensive transportation facilities and infrastructure are slightly backward and inadequate compared to other provincial capitals.
GDP can only be used as a benchmark, while transportation, medical care, scientific research and other aspects constitute a more important reference direction. Because the development of cities is based on people's livelihood, it is necessary to ensure that every resident can live a better life.
At present, five provincial-level cities in the central region, namely Luoyang, Xiangyang, Jiujiang, Yichang and Wuhu, have been successfully selected as second-tier cities. Geographically, these five cities remain very favorable for future development. Therefore, the transportation development of the central region should take advantage of its convenience.
Among the third-tier cities, Jingzhou City in Hubei Province ranks first, and many people pay attention to this ranking. In fact, the city of Jingzhou is particularly regrettable because it is a historical city with a deep cultural heritage. However, it has not made full use of its resources in terms of planning and development.
In short: cities need to grow on all fronts, GDP can only be a benchmark, and what residents really need is education, housing, and health care.
