this year, the national development and Reform Commission announced the key tasks for the construction of new urbanization in 2019, which made it clear to cancel or relax the settlement restrictions in big cities. However, it can be seen from the tasks that this reform will represent more talents for second and third tier cities, improve housing demand, and be more beneficial to people who want to settle in second and third tier cities. But for megacities and megacities, it may not benefit from this policy. So what are megacities and megacities? Do you know? This article brings you an introduction to megacities and megacities. Let's have a look.
What are megacities and megacities?
On November 20, 2014, the State Council issued the notice on adjusting the criteria for the division of urban scale, which divided cities into five categories and seven grades based on the resident population in urban areas. Among them, cities with a permanent resident population of more than 1 million and less than 5 million are big cities, of which cities with a permanent resident population of more than 3 million and less than 5 million are type I big cities, and cities with a permanent resident population of more than 1 million and less than 3 million are type II big cities; Cities with a permanent resident population of more than 5 million and less than 10 million are mega cities; Cities with a permanent resident population of more than 10 million are megacities.
According to the 2017 statistical yearbook of Urban Construction issued by the Ministry of housing and urban rural development, mega cities with an urban population of more than 5 million include Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Tianjin, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Wuhan. In other words, most other cities are expected to benefit from the new policy.
In fact, since this year, many cities have begun to relax the settlement conditions.
On March 18, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, announced the cancellation of the restrictions on the relocation conditions of "stable residence and stable employment" in urban areas and towns, and fully liberalized the settlement in urban areas and towns. Citizens throughout the country can apply to the local police station for residence only with their resident ID card and residence booklet to move into urban areas, county (city) urban areas and established towns. Moreover, the residence accounts of spouses, children and both parents can be moved together. Shijiazhuang has thus become the first provincial capital city to implement zero threshold.
In fact, not only these type I big cities, but also most mega cities and even mega cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen are liberalizing the settlement restrictions.
On February 28, Shenzhen, Guangdong simplified the talent introduction process and upgraded the talent introduction system, expanding the coverage of the "second batch" policy of talent introduction from last year's college graduates to this year's on-the-job talent introduction, overseas returnees, postdoctoral entry and the relocation of their spouses and children. Within 30 days after the implementation of the policy, about 100000 people in Shenzhen have settled in Shenzhen for handling or consulting.
On April 3, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province issued the notice on implementing the policies and measures to stabilize the growth of enterprises and promote the development of the real economy. The fourth major item, Article 18, 'strengthen the guarantee and service of talent introduction and education', states that 'full-time college and above talents who work in Hangzhou and pay social security can be settled directly'.
