1 and third-tier cities are large and medium-sized cities with strategic significance, developed economy and large economic aggregate, which are comprehensively evaluated according to the scale of urban built-up areas, urban population, economic development level and GDP. Most of the third-tier cities are large in scale, and the non-agricultural population in the central city exceeds 6.5438+0 million. Urban infrastructure, commercial facilities and transportation facilities are relatively perfect, and residents have certain consumption power. Residents' living standards are generally well-off, and cities have certain pillar industries and relatively reasonable industrial structures, which are still attractive to some large enterprises, but the comprehensive competitiveness of cities still needs to be further improved. Third-tier cities are generally economically developed cities in the eastern region, sub-central cities in the central region, regional central cities or economically strong cities and capital cities in the western region.

2. Fourth-tier cities are mostly medium-sized cities, with relatively average city size, economic and social development level and traffic construction. Most of the fourth-tier cities are prefecture-level cities, including provincial capitals, capitals and autonomous prefectures. The economic and social development of fourth-tier cities often depends on local small and medium-sized enterprises or resource-based enterprises, and the consumption level of residents is in the process of growth. In the regional strategic layout of large companies and brands, fourth-tier cities often rely on the radiation of regional central cities, which has certain attraction to domestic local small and medium-sized enterprises and second-tier brands.

3. Most of the fifth-tier cities are prefecture-level administrative regions with underdeveloped economy in the western region, and there are also a few small and medium-sized cities in the central and eastern regions. Generally, five-tier cities are small in scale, poor in economic foundation and inconvenient in transportation. The agricultural population of prefecture-level cities, autonomous prefectures, regions and leagues with a limited number of large enterprises still accounts for a large proportion. They are exploring the development direction of urbanization and industrialization, with different economic levels and consumption levels in different places.
