The list of new first-tier cities in 2023 has been officially announced. Which cities among them surprise you?

Hello, some unexpected cities may appear in the new official list of first-tier cities in 2023:

1. Changsha. As a central city, Changsha has great advantages in the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure, construction of transportation system and cost of living, and is expected to become a new first-tier city.

2. Nanchang. Nanchang's status as a high-speed rail hub is becoming increasingly prominent, its industrial development vitality is high, and its cost of living is lower than that of second-tier cities. These factors increase the possibility of it becoming a new first-tier city.

3. Jinan. Jinan has a certain foundation in the development of education, medical care and high-tech industries, and the integration of Qingdao and Jinan has also brought natural convenience to it, which will help improve its competitiveness in new first-tier cities.

4. Hefei. Hefei has outstanding scientific and technological innovation capabilities, relatively optimized industrial structure, and rapid progress in subway network construction. These have created favorable conditions for its promotion to a new first-tier city. However, aspects such as the cost of living need to be improved, which will affect its competitiveness.

5. Chongqing. Chongqing has certain advantages in terms of landscape resources and industrial strength, but there is still much room for improvement in aspects such as transportation system and cost of living, which will restrict its competitiveness. However, if there is greater improvement in these aspects in the future, it is also expected to join the ranks of new first-tier cities.

In addition, western central cities such as Xi'an and Chengdu, as well as eastern cities such as Jining and Quanzhou, also have certain opportunities to become unexpected new first-tier city players. But generally speaking, if these cities want to become new first-tier cities, they still need to continuously improve in terms of industrial upgrading, talent gathering, and quality of life, and narrow the gap with the first-tier cities in the east. This requires a certain period of accumulation and development.

So, generally speaking, it is predicted that in addition to strong cities such as Shenzhen and Hangzhou, the list of new first-tier cities to be officially announced in 2023 will also be more likely to be unexpected in central cities such as Changsha, Nanchang, and Hefei. s Choice.

I hope my answer will be helpful to you.
