At the beginning of this month, a list of strong counties gave many scholars new research directions. Public information shows that this list is jointly released by the small and medium-sized cities research group and Guoxin small and medium-sized cities Research Institute. The ranking of the list is also different from other data. In addition, in addition to the list of top 100 counties, the two institutions also released a list of strong towns.

It is reported that the evaluation objects of this list of strong towns include key towns in China and towns with good development trend in all provinces. Considering the availability and comparability of the data of the built-up towns, the researchers selected the indicators such as the total GDP, the general budget income, the number of above designated industrial enterprises and the per capita disposable income for comparison, and obtained the final ranking.

The latest release of four strong towns in Zhejiang

According to this list, the four strong towns in Zhejiang are also the latest, followed by Liushi, Hengdian, Cicheng and Guali. Compared with the list in the same period last year, the change is still obvious. According to the ranking, except that Liushi still ranks first, other rankings have been adjusted. The most surprising thing is that Tangxia Town, which ranked second in Zhejiang last year, has fallen to the fifth in the province.

In previous years, the four strong towns in Zhejiang were basically occupied by Wenzhou. With the gradual upgrading of strong towns such as Oubei and Longgang, the strong towns in Wenzhou began to decline. Before Longgang was upgraded to a county-level city, the top three strong towns in Zhejiang were all from Wenzhou, followed by Liushi, Tangxia and Longgang.

Now, it seems that Liushi town is the only top town in Wenzhou. From the planning of Yueqing and Wenzhou, it is also very likely that Liushi will undergo zoning adjustment in the short term. Of course, Tangxia town is no exception. With the development of urban agglomeration and pre urban areas, each strong town has its own pressure, which is also based on.

Cicheng ranked third, and Ningbo was shortlisted for the first time

According to the latest ranking of strong towns in Zhejiang, Cicheng ranked third, which was unexpected. In the impression of many Ningbo people, Cicheng is just an ancient town. In fact, everyone underestimates Cicheng. Public information shows that Cicheng is one of the satellite cities in Ningbo and one of the pilot cities for the cultivation of small cities in Zhejiang Province. It enjoys the economic and social management authority at the county level.

In recent years, the development of Cicheng has also been rapidly improved. Zhejiang Qianyang Economic Development Zone has developed in an all-round way. The construction of Ningbo Metro Line 4 will also help the rise of Cicheng. In particular, Cicheng ranks third this time, which also makes Ningbo a strong town shortlisted in the top four in Zhejiang for the first time.

In the 1980s, traditional strong towns such as ningwei and Keqiao have always been the leaders of villages and towns in Zhejiang. Recently, strong towns in southern and central Zhejiang have also become the vanguard of strong towns in Zhejiang. This time, the sudden rise of Cicheng also reflects the strong town power of Ningbo.

Many friends of Xiaoshan have been talking about Guali being in a remote suburb. Once passing through Xiaoshan from Hangzhou Ningbo Expressway, Guali town first came into view. At that time, I also felt that Guali should be general. But in fact, judging from the list of various strong towns, I can only blame myself for being hasty. In this ranking, Guali town ranks among the top four, which is also an embodiment of its own strength.

In the second quarter of 2021, Zhejiang released the 14th five year plan for the development of new urbanization in the province. In the next few years, the urbanization process of Zhejiang Province will continue to accelerate, and the urban and rural regional development will be more coordinated. So what do you think of the list of the four strong towns in Zhejiang?
