China city classification:
Cities in China can be divided into first-class cities according to administrative levels. A city refers to a municipality directly under the central government, which is at the same level as a province or autonomous region and directly under the jurisdiction of the State Council. Secondary cities refer to prefecture-level cities, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the province.
The special administrative region is at the same level as the first-class city and is directly under the jurisdiction of the State Council. The role of urban classification is conducive to optimization and management. There are 657 cities in China, but in the process of rapid urbanization in recent years, the number of cities has not increased, but has continued to decrease. According to the original standard, at present, the proportion of large, medium and small cities in China is 1: 1.42: 0.77. The proportion of medium-sized cities is small, and small cities are seriously inadequate.
This does not conform to the pyramid law of urbanization development, nor to the objective requirements of coordinated urban and rural development. Moreover, many small towns in China are not included in the ranks of cities, which leads to various development restrictions of policies.
After the adjustment of the city scale demarcation standard, it not only increases the identification of megacities, but also does not stick to the restrictions of city grades, and really relies on market allocation, according to the carrying capacity and population agglomeration capacity of cities.
After the change of the standard, the number of cities in China will increase greatly, and most of the national 1.94 million towns are expected to be changed into "cities", thus truly forming a pyramid structure of city scale.
