Annual Report of the Construction of National Central Cities (2019) Published, Zhengzhou: A City with the Highest Comprehensive Growth Rate in 2019

10月23日，郑州市人民政府新闻办公室举行新闻发布会，《国家中心城市建设报告（2019）》（以下简称《报告》）正式亮相。

Annual Report of the Construction of National Central Cities (2019) was officially published at the press conference held by the Information Office of Zhengzhou Municipal People’s Government on October 23.

 

The press conference

《报告》对北京、上海、广州、天津、重庆、成都、武汉、郑州、西安这9个国家中心城市进行了全面解析。

The report gives a comprehensive analysis of the 9 national central cities, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Chongqing, Chengdu, Wuhan, Zhengzhou and Xi’an.

2018年, 在常住人口方面，人口最多的是重庆，其次是上海和北京；从年增长率上看，西安增长率最高，其次是广州和郑州；地区生产总值排名，上海、北京在9个城市中拿到状元和榜眼；人均GDP方面，广州第一，北京第二，上海第三，郑州排在第六。

Among these 9 cities, Chongqing was home to a largest resident population, followed by Shanghai and Beijing. Xi’an cherished the fastest annual growth rate, followed by Guangzhou and Zhengzhou. Shanghai ranked first in total GDP, followed by Beijing, while Guangzhou took the lead in GDP per capita, followed by Beijing and Shanghai. Zhengzhou ranked sixth in terms of GDP per capita.

初步分析结果表明，9个城市中，上海、北京、广州发展水平优势显著，而郑州、西安总体经济实力依旧相对较弱，郑州的综合建设指数也处于较低水平，但各项基础指标多呈快速增长趋势，尤其在人口聚集力度、全社会固定资产投资方面增长较快。

The analysis shows that, among 9 national central cities, Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou have obvious advantages in development. Although the overall economic strength of Zhengzhou and Xi’an is relatively weak and both of them are also at a low level by the comprehensive construction index, most of their basic indicators still show a trend of rapid growth, especially in terms of population concentration and social fixed asset investment.

与去年不同的是，今年新增了成长性指数。

Different from last year, a comprehensive growth index is added in the report this year.

在具体的指标选择上，该指数筛选并选择了GDP增速、常住人口增速、客运周转量增速、经济外向度增速等33个增速指标。

The growth index was a composite of 33 growth indicators of GDP, permanent resident population, passenger turnover volume, economic extroversion, etc.

从9个城市成长性指数的综合评分来看，成长性指数都为正，说明9个国家中心城市建设均处于不同程度的持续优化发展中。其中，郑州排名第一，西安、成都、武汉紧随其后，广州、重庆、上海、北京、天津的成长性指数较低。

The positive comprehensive growth indexes of the 9 national central cities indicate that all of them are now undergoing an optimized sustainable development of different levels. Among them, Zhengzhou ranked first in comprehensive growth index, followed by Xi’an, Chengdu and Wuhan, while Guangzhou, Chongqing, Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin was relatively lower.

由此可见，建设指数排名相对靠后的郑州、西安等城市仍有较大发展潜力，而且均处于快速发展中。（记者/孙科 图片/何心悦 编译/赵汉青 审校/刘红强）

It is clear to see that, cities with relatively lower construction indexes, such as Zhengzhou and Xi’an, are all witnessing rapid development and they still have great development potentials.
