Is your city on the list?

Cities are the product of human aggregation. When people continue to pour into the city, this spatial entity has a huge power. But at the same time, the increasing environmental and social issues also remind urban planners, urban operators and citizens to constantly think about what kind of city is the ideal city?

To this day, it is still difficult to summarize the answer to this question in words. Therefore, using the increasingly rich urban data, we may be able to establish a set of evaluation system for the city, and depict the outline of the ideal city in people's mind.

According to 170 brand business data of the latest year, user behavior data of 19 Internet companies and urban big data of data institutions, first finance & bull; new first tier city research institute ranks 338 cities above prefecture level in China again.

In order to ensure the continuity and comparability of the list, the latest city business charm list in 2018 follows the five indicators of business resource concentration, urban hub, urban people's activity, lifestyle diversity and future plasticity of the previous year, and maintains the original calculation framework: the weight of the first level index is calculated by the expert committee of the new first tier city research institute For the data below the secondary index, principal component analysis 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 'beishangguangshen' to 'shangbeishenguang'. There are also some changes in the seats of 15 'new first tier' cities, namely Chengdu, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Wuhan, Suzhou, Xi'an, Tianjin, Nanjing, Zhengzhou, Changsha, Shenyang, Qingdao, Ningbo, Dongguan and Wuxi.

For the first time in three years, the ranking of first tier cities has changed since the release of China's urban business charm ranking, and Beijing no longer holds the first place in the list. Beijing still ranks first in the future plasticity index, which represents the attraction and innovation of urban talents, but its urban activity index is one lower than last year.

Shenzhen's business charm index surpassed that of Guangzhou this year, becoming the third place on the list. In addition to the number of patents ranking first year after year, the GDP also exceeded 2 trillion yuan in 2017. Shenzhen's urban tolerance and the innovative soil it fostered make its long-term upward growth more prominent in China's first tier cities.

Among the new first tier cities, Wuxi has returned to the new first tier after a year's dormancy; Chongqing, Suzhou and Zhengzhou are the three cities rising for three consecutive years. However, the northeast cities continued to decline, Shenyang's ranking dropped by 1, Dalian has dropped out of the list of new first tier cities, and dropped to the 21st place after Kunming.

More and more cities are fully aware that talents are the core of urban development. At the beginning of this year, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Xi'an, Wuhan and other new first tier cities have introduced new policies for talents, attracting college students and professional and technical personnel to settle down. This is a battle for talents, and also a battle for the core elements of urban development.

Diversified and open urban space and innovative talents are mutually causal symbiosis. For all cities, the way of development may not be to catch up with the current industrial outlets. Only by gathering and attracting the best talents and resources, and preparing for the new opportunities, can we maximize the energy of the city at the right time. This is also the value that the first finance & bull; new first tier city research institute adheres to when setting the algorithm of China's urban commercial charm index.

Urban renewal and governance need a gradual process. No matter from bottom to top, or from top to bottom, the managers of a city are worth thinking about the supply-demand relationship in the market like the managers of a company, understanding what kind of multi space and lifestyle urban people really want, why people prefer to abandon their hometown and come to a city, and what kind of ideal city people want to look for.

Based on this, it is possible for us to put all the imagination of a good life into the complex and interesting organism of the city and live in a real 'ideal city' in the future.
