In 20 18, the new first-tier cities in China are Chengdu, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Suzhou, Xi' an, Nanjing, Tianjin, Chongqing, Zhengzhou, Changsha, Shenyang, Qingdao, Wuxi, Dongguan and Ningbo.
Through the above five dimensions, comprehensively compare Dongguan and Foshan, and find out the gap.
Future plasticity
Dongguan is the only city in China that is surrounded by Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hongkong. This development potential has indeed greatly stimulated the development of Dongguan. The industrial spillover from Shenzhen and Hong Kong accelerated the economic development of Dongguan, and Huawei moved to Songshan Lake in Dongguan on a large scale, which accelerated the economic and industrial upgrading of Dongguan. The urbanization of Shenzhen and Dongguan is just around the corner.
Because Foshan is close to Guangzhou, but Guangzhou has a large area, the industrial spillover effect on Foshan is not as good as that of Dongguan, which leads to Foshan's technological competitiveness is not as good as that of Dongguan.
Therefore, in terms of future plasticity, Dongguan is stronger.
Urban people's activities
The number of migrants in Dongguan is higher than that in Foshan, and the annual increment and population attractiveness index of permanent residents in Dongguan rank among the top ten in China. Therefore, the mobility and activity of Dongguan people are obviously stronger than that of Foshan.
In 20 17, the number of permanent residents in Dongguan increased by 87,000 and that in Foshan by 54,000. It can be seen that the population activity in Dongguan is higher than that in Foshan.
Urban hub
We inquire according to the number of trains:
The number of trains passing through Dongguan is 2 19.
The number of trains passing through Foshan is: 55
Subway mileage (km):
Dongguan: 37.8
Foshan: 2 1
Judging from the diversity of lifestyle and the concentration of commercial resources, the gap between Dongguan and Foshan is not very big, and the concentration of commercial resources is not much different in the same culture and lifestyle. Therefore, in general, Dongguan is superior to Foshan in terms of urban hub, urban activity and future plasticity.
It is not difficult to understand why Dongguan is a new first-tier city and Foshan is not on the list. Finally, the ranking of new first-tier cities is not necessarily related to the quality of economic development, nor is it an authoritative official ranking. This is just a business ranking list, so there is no need to take it too seriously.
