with a gdp of 500 billion yuan as the threshold for a big city and the starting point for a strong city, a total of 59 cities across the country will be shortlisted in 2024. shenzhen, shanghai, beijing, hangzhou, guangzhou, nanjing, wuhan, suzhou, ningbo, and wuxi ranked in the top 10, and changsha ranked 11th.
recently, the "china's big cities and strong cities index" jointly released by the shenzhen industry research institute of shanghai jiao tong university and the china development research institute. changsha’s dgp ranks 15th in the country. why does changsha’s strong city index rank 11th in the country, leaving behind chengdu and chongqing?
1. a big city may not be a strong city
combing the "china big cities and strong cities index report", whether a city is strong or not depends on multiple dimensions: including labor productivity, land productivity, capital productivity, the number of invention patents granted per 10,000 people, the proportion of talents, the number of companies with a market value of more than 10 billion yuan, etc. .
chen xian, chief expert of the report's research team and professor at shanghai jiao tong university's antai school of economics and management, said that the value of the strong city index is that while people generally pay attention to the total urban economy, it also focuses on the efficiency, strength and potential of the urban economy, as well as people's livelihood conditions. , providing a "window" to observe the quality of urban economic development.
in terms of total gdp, three cities in the central and western regions are among the top ten, namely chongqing, chengdu, and wuhan.
this ranking does not coincide with the city's gdp ranking. it also illustrates from the side that a big city, that is, a large economy, may not necessarily be a strong city.
changsha's performance is the same as in 2023, ranking 11th in the country, higher than the gdp ranking (15th).
also in the central and western regions, chongqing, which ranks fifth in gdp in the country, ranks 23rd in terms of strong cities; chengdu, which ranks seventh in gdp in the country, ranks 14th in terms of strong cities; zhengzhou, which ranks 16th in gdp in the country, ranks 29th in strong cities; and hefei, which ranks 20th in gdp. , qiangcheng ranked 13th.
chen xian said that changsha’s performance is largely due to the balance of each indicator. "balance" also provides another layer of thinking for many cities in the past, in addition to "pursuing bigness".
lu ming, executive director of the china development research institute at shanghai jiao tong university, said that if a city pursues bigness one-sidedly and does not improve the quality of economic development, then "bigness" will not be competitive, motivating and sustainable.
2. learn from each other’s strengths and weaknesses
wuhan, changsha, and hefei are the top three powerful cities in the entire central and western regions.
chen xian believes that wuhan has the strongest comprehensive indicators, but changsha and hefei have made greater progress. hefei, in particular, has cultivated an industry that is the envy of all places - "core screen automobile integration, gathering lifelong wisdom".
you are chasing each other in the city, and changsha cannot relax for a moment.
in recent years, hunan has achieved certain results in implementing the strategy of "strengthening the provincial capital", and changsha's primacy has improved.
he believes that changsha has world-class industrial clusters such as construction machinery and rail transit, and has formed a source of innovation in some manufacturing sectors. if there is a fly in the ointment, it is that it is still the same as the "old three". the starting and leading of strategic emerging industries have not left a deep impression on people.
hefei is gaining momentum, and what everyone is talking about must be technological innovation.
good university + good industry, hefei embodies this very well.
changsha has no shortage of good universities, and its scientific and educational resources are richer than those in hefei. good industry. in fact, changsha has also cultivated a number of emerging enterprises in recent years relying on its own scientific and educational resources.
changsha's innovation path, based on university + industry, should be the direction of efforts to leverage more scientific and technological innovation.
