The 2023 China Urban Livability Index T0P Top 30 list was released, but the cities on the list do not meet the standards of livable cities in the minds of ordinary people.
In the eyes of ordinary people, a livable city should have a certain level of housing prices, suitable climatic conditions, convenient transportation systems, and well-developed medical and educational resources.
These factors are not fully reflected in the official list.
In the minds of ordinary people, the livable city should first of all be housing prices of no more than 10,000 yuan, which is a problem that many ordinary families cannot ignore.
General prices are also the focus of people's attention, after all, all aspects of life are inseparable from the impact of prices.
Favorable climatic conditions are also an important factor, especially for families with children.
Convenient transportation system and well-developed medical and educational resources are the top priorities of the people.
However, the geographical location of the cities in the list is mostly concentrated in prefecture-level cities in Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan, Anhui and other provinces, which is different from the people's cognition.
In the minds of ordinary people, first-tier cities or developed areas are more likely to be considered livable cities, but this list does not reflect this.
In the list, Changsha, Wuhan, Taipei, Xi'an, Guangzhou, Beijing, Nanjing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Qingdao and other cities are considered livable.
These cities may meet a certain standard in the official perception, but there is a certain gap between them and the people's thinking.
In addition to the difference in geographical location, the difference in the standards of livable cities lies in the fact that there is a big difference between the official standards and the standards of ordinary people.
Officials are more concerned about urban development and infrastructure construction, while ordinary people are more concerned about the actual living conditions.
It can be seen that the T0P list of the city's livability index has caused a lot of controversy after its release.
There is a certain difference between the people's perception and the ranking of the list, and there are also differences between the official and the people's perception of livable cities.
Perhaps in the future release, more attention can be paid to the actual needs of the people, so that the list is closer to the people's livelihood and can more truly reflect the livable cities in the minds of the people.
