China News Service, Beijing, March 18 (Li Jian) In the 2021 national urban population attractiveness TOP300 list, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Beijing ranked the top three; among them, Shenzhen's annual population attractiveness index ranked first.
This conclusion comes from the "2021 China Urban Vitality Research Report" released recently.
This report is based on the achievements of Baidu Maps in the fields of big data and artificial intelligence. It aims to reflect the attractiveness of the population of major cities in China and the vitality of cultural tourism, and to provide a scientific and visual reference for the decision-making of the public and relevant departments.
According to the report, the "city population attractiveness index" is the ratio of the new inflow of permanent residents in the city to the average new inflow of permanent residents in all cities across the country, and the value is the result of indexation.
The results show that southern cities account for nine of the top ten cities in terms of population attractiveness.
The rise in "domestic travel" is also reflected in this report.
The "Outside Tourist Scale Index" proposed in the report is converted from the absolute value of the total number of out-of-town tourists, which can be compared horizontally between cities.
The results show that during the 2021 holiday period, the top 10 tourist scale indices from outside the city are Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Chengdu, Xi'an, Suzhou, Nanjing, Shenzhen, and Changsha.
"Compared with the past world where changes were relatively stable and development was relatively certain, the current and future urban development is characterized by rapid changes and high complexity. In this context, it is particularly important to gain insight into economic development and urban management through big data. "Ouyang Rihui, deputy dean of the China Internet Economic Research Institute of the Central University of Finance and Economics, said that through the report released by Baidu Maps, we can see the economic vitality of different regions and cities.
Ouyang Rihui said that providing accurate and real-time technical means for urban precision management will help to improve the digital process of urban governance and improve the happiness index of urban residents.
Liu Yushu, director of the Macro Research Department of the Chongyang Institute of Financial Studies at Renmin University of China, believes that the report data is detailed and rich in content, showing the resilience and innovation vitality of China's economic development in the post-epidemic era, such as "the gratifying changes in tourism data in Lhasa, Lanzhou, and Kunming."
Liu Yushu said that this also plays a positive role in collaborative innovation in regional planning, green economy monitoring, autonomous driving and the construction of smart highway economic belts.
