The list of new first-tier cities in 2018 has been released. You can see which first-tier cities your hometown is in. The ranking of cities is actually analyzed based on comprehensive data, and does not necessarily refer to economic indicators alone. Let me share with you the latest version of the new first-tier city rankings.
Cities are the product of human gatherings. As people continue to flow into cities, this spatial entity acquires tremendous power.
But at the same time, the increasing environmental and social issues also remind urban planners, city operators and citizens to constantly think about what kind of city is an ideal city?
To this day , you still have a hard time summarizing the answer to this question in words.
Therefore, trying to use the increasingly abundant urban data may be able to establish an evaluation system for cities to outline the outline of people's ideal cities.
Based on the latest year’s business data of 170 brands, user behavior data of 19 Internet companies and urban big data of data institutions, China Business News. New First-tier Cities Research Institute analyzed 338 prefecture-level and above cities in China. Cities are ranked again.
In order to ensure the continuity and comparability of the list, this latest city business charm ranking list in 2018 follows the previous year’s business resource concentration, urban hubness, urban people’s activity, and life Five indicators of method diversity and future plasticity, and maintain the original algorithm framework:
The weight of the first-level index is calculated by the score of the expert committee of the New First-tier Cities Research Institute, and the data below the second-level index The principal component analysis method is used.
The result of this comprehensive calculation is that the four first-tier cities have changed their positions in their respective two echelons - from "North, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen" to "Upper, North, Shenzhen and Guangzhou".
There are also some changes in the seats of the 15 "new first-tier" cities, followed by Chengdu, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Wuhan, Suzhou, Xi'an, Tianjin, Nanjing, Zhengzhou, Changsha, Shenyang, Qingdao, Ningbo, Dongguan and Wuxi.
Since the release of the "China Cities Business Charm Ranking", the ranking of first-tier cities has changed for the first time in three years, with Beijing no longer firmly occupying the first place on the city list.
In the future plasticity index, which represents the attractiveness of urban talents and the degree of innovation, Beijing still ranks first, but Beijing’s urban activity index has dropped one place from last year.
Shenzhen’s business charm index surpassed Guangzhou this year and became third on the list. In addition to ranking first in the number of patents year after year, GDP also exceeded 2 trillion yuan in 2017. Shenzhen's urban tolerance and the innovative soil it has cultivated have made its long-lasting upward growth more prominent among China's first-tier cities.
Among the new first-tier cities, Wuxi has returned to the new first-tier cities after a year of dormancy; Chongqing, Suzhou, and Zhengzhou are the three cities that have risen in ranking for three consecutive years.
Cities in Northeast China continue to decline, with Shenyang’s ranking falling by one place, and Dalian falling out of the list of new first-tier cities, falling to 21st place behind Kunming.
More and more cities are fully aware that talent is the core of urban development.
At the beginning of this year, new first-tier cities such as Nanjing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Xi'an and Wuhan successively introduced new talent policies to attract college students and professional and technical personnel to settle there.
This is a “war for talent” and a scramble for core elements of urban development.
Diverse and open urban spaces and innovative talents are in a causal relationship. For all cities, the path to development may not lie in catching up with current industrial trends.
Assembling and attracting the best talents and resources, and preparing for new opportunities before they arrive, can we maximize the energy of the city at the appropriate time.
This is also the value that China Business News·New First-tier Cities Research Institute adheres to when setting the algorithm for the Chinese City Business Attractiveness Index.
Urban renewal and governance require a step-by-step process.
Whether it is bottom-up or top-down, a city manager deserves to think about the supply and demand relationship in the market like a company operator, and understand what kind of diverse space and lifestyle urban people really want. Why people would rather abandon their hometown and come to a city? Understand what kind of ideal city people are looking for.
Based on this, it is possible for us to put all our imaginations about a better life into the complex and interesting organism of the city, and live in a true "ideal city" in the future.
