The 13th Five-Year Plan to build new top ten cities, second-tier cities may become the main battlefield of urbanization

In other words, in the future, provincial capitals such as Zhengzhou and Changsha with large populations also have great development potential.
Niu Fengrui, a researcher at the Urban Development and Environmental Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told reporters that creating a batch of new central cities and dispersing the functions of super-large cities such as Beijing and Shanghai does not simply follow the construction of large regional centers in the past.
Resources such as education and medical care are excessively concentrated in the center of a large area, so for the populous provinces such as Henan and Shandong, it is not conducive to the urbanization of these places and the balanced development of the regional economy.

"Furthermore, to build 10 central cities, it may not necessarily be 10, but there may be more than a dozen.
" Niu Fengrui said that in the future of my country's urban development, we still need to respect the market.
"Whether a city can grow into a central city depends largely on the objective possibility and needs of its own economic and social development.
"

Hu Xiaodeng said that the development of Chinese cities is mainly about the support, agglomeration of resources and the layout of industries.
However, for decades, my country's main resources, capital, industries and advantageous public products have been concentrated in big cities.
"Economic development cannot be absolutely balanced, but it must be relatively balanced.
" Hu Xiaodeng believes that the key to the future is that the country's top-level design must promote the equalization of regional public resources.
It must be in terms of industrial layout, education, medical care, and financial resources.
Only by considering the balanced distribution of the whole country can the balanced development of the region be promoted.

Second-tier cities may become the main battlefield of urbanization

To solve the "urban disease" of megacities and strictly control the population size of megacities, it does not mean that the trend of population migration to big cities will change.
In the current process of urbanization, rural population transfer is often not to third- and fourth-tier cities and county towns, but directly to first- and second-tier cities.

Niu Fengrui said that in the process of urbanization, there are two ideas of decentralized urbanization, mainly small and medium-sized cities, and centralized urbanization, mainly large cities.
China has a large population base, a high density, and a small area of ​​arable land.
Therefore, taking the road of centralized urbanization is a more rational and inevitable choice.
"It's not that big cities are necessarily bad.
For example, if there is no certain city scale, there will be no market for subway construction.
The key is to have a degree in the development of big cities.
"

According to experts, in the current process of accelerated urbanization, on the one hand, although small and medium-sized cities are relatively easy to settle down, due to industrial development and lack of public resources, small and medium-sized cities will not become the main body in the accelerated process of urbanization.
On the other hand, megacities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen have reached the stage of strictly controlling the size of the urban population, and it is not easy for migrant workers to settle down.
In contrast, second-tier cities, including many provincial capitals and developed coastal cities such as Xiamen and Qingdao, will become the mainstay of urbanization in the future.
These cities still have a lot of room for development and are expected to relax in terms of settlement.
