Why Suzhou has no sense of city?

One: the pace of life is slow, and the sense of urban depression is insufficient. In today's era of rapid development, all walks of life are changing with each passing day, and big cities are struggling to move forward, just to win the ranking of more advanced cities and the so-called GDP that looks good on the surface. Therefore, under this premise, the pace of life in many cities with slightly higher rankings can be said to be not generally fast, and sometimes it even makes everyone breathless. On the other hand, Suzhou is not like this. Although it is also a new first-tier city, living and working here does not feel the oppression brought by fast-paced life. It can be said that every day is very pleasant, so under such a pace of life, the sense of city will naturally not be very strong.

Two: the old city is well preserved, and there are still small bridges and flowing water. Speaking of the integrity of the old city, I dare say that few cities in China can compare with Suzhou. The reason for saying this is actually very simple, because gusu district in Suzhou is still using the previous architectural style, and there is no so-called reinforced concrete here. Especially when you walk in here, what you feel is the cultural background and historical atmosphere of the famous city in the south of the Yangtze River for thousands of years. All the bad things related to the city don't exist here, so how strong can Suzhou be?

Three: Take the route of rapid urban development. Friends who know Suzhou know that although it seems that Suzhou's GDP is high on the surface, in fact, this kind of high is only one kind? Virtual height? . The reason for this is that Suzhou is on the road of rapid urban development. In short, it is to rely on the county-level cities under the jurisdiction of the surrounding areas to promote the development of the city. Therefore, under this development model, there is still a big gap between the development of Suzhou itself and the real first-tier cities. For example, in terms of urban area alone, Suzhou is not comparable to Nanjing, the provincial capital, and there are more differences in urban population, so Suzhou under this development model can be imagined.

Four: the bustling business district did not feel crowded and the shops were crowded. For most people, everywhere they go, the bustling business district of this city is a must, not to mention anything else, because it is the most prosperous area of this city. Even if there is nothing to see and play, they will come here with the mentality that they can't see the Great Wall. After reading it, that's it. The only feeling is that there are too many people to die, and all kinds of shops are dazzling. However, when you arrive in Suzhou, you will find that the bustling business district here is very different from other places. Regardless of the degree of prosperity, congestion alone can give you great surprises, and you will have a feeling of coming to a fake bustling area, which is manifested in the lack of congestion, spacious roads and few shops. So downtown still has no sense of city, not to mention the rest.
