The data shows that the GDP of Guangzhou in 20 19 was only 2,362.86 billion yuan. In contrast, Chongqing, as a new first-tier city, is 2,360.57 billion yuan, only a few billion yuan less than Guangzhou. Compared with Shenzhen, which is also a first-tier city, Guangzhou is a bit inadequate. Shenzhen's GDP has reached nearly 2692.7 1 100 million yuan. All these data show that Guangzhou seems to be in an embarrassing situation: GDP lags far behind Shenzhen and will soon be surpassed by Chongqing. Can Guangzhou still keep its name as a first-tier city? Let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of Guangzhou first.
Not at a disadvantage
Compared with Shenzhen, the disadvantage of Guangzhou is obvious, that is, there are too few CBD. Shenzhen has only 2,000 square kilometers of land and three or four CBD, while Guangzhou, which is several times larger than Shenzhen, has only one Pearl River New Town. The number of CBD determines the region that can create economy. However, Guangzhou is also striving to build Pazhou West District and Nansha in the next three to five years, and is also announcing to others that this weakness of Guangzhou is about to disappear.
In addition, the biggest disadvantage of Guangzhou is that people don't look very advanced. There are many people who do finance in China, and those who write codes in the north are basically in tall offices. But Guangzhou is different. Guangzhou's foreign trade is mainly about holding exhibitions in Pazhou, dealing with blacks in the third world, making ceramics, jewelry and industry, which makes people feel earthy, but behind these soils, people are really working hard, and they are all rewarded through hard work.
The advantages are obvious.
Many people compare Guangzhou with one point or two points. This is because the comprehensive strength of few cities can be compared with Guangzhou. Some just say that the Internet is better than Guangzhou, medical care is better than Guangzhou, and GDP is higher than Guangzhou, but no city is better than Guangzhou. As a big port that has not declined for more than two thousand years, Guangzhou's comprehensive strength is already one of the best in China, with not only major universities, but also the best medical resources in Guangdong Province.
Can Guangzhou still keep the first-line name? That's necessary. Compared with Guangzhou, Chongqing still has many shortcomings. As far as economy is concerned, Chongqing's economy accounts for the main percentage of the secondary industry, that is, industry, while Guangzhou's economy is mainly the service industry of the tertiary industry, which determines the difference between Chongqing and Guangzhou. Generally speaking, developed countries and cities are extremely developed in the tertiary industry, which also shows that Chongqing can't grab the name of first-tier city in Guangzhou even if its GDP is higher.
It is undeniable that the development of Guangzhou will not be so good because of the epidemic, but from a distance, Guangzhou's investment is batch after batch. Pazhou West District, Nancun Wanbo, Nansha and Huangpu New District are all under construction. When one high-rise building after another is built and famous enterprises from all over the world move in, Guangzhou may already be an insurmountable gap, and it will also be an unattainable mountain.
The development of Guangzhou lies in how to achieve sustainable development and how to complete industrial transformation and upgrading according to local conditions. For Guangzhou people, there is a good saying: just do your own thing and don't always compare with others.
I don't know what you think. The city of Guangzhou has always been a controversial point for many people, but as a frequent visitor to Guangzhou, I can say that Guangzhou is the most comfortable among the first-tier cities. Do you like this city? Welcome to leave a comment below.
