The theme of the National Central City Construction Report (2022) is: Economic growth of super-large and megacities under "three pressures".

Top news reporter learned that this book closely follows the "three pressures" and focuses on studying the economic development issues of super-large cities. According to research evaluation, the construction index rankings of in 9 national central cities have changed significantly this year.

Blue Book research closely follows the "triple pressure". Central Economic Work Conference held in December 2021 pointed out that "my country's economic development faces the triple pressure of contraction of demand, supply shock, and weakening of expectations." In the research and development of this year's blue book, we have conscientiously implemented the decision-making and deployment and requirements of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, "the epidemic must be prevented, the economy must be stabilized, and development must be safe." All parts of the book closely follow the keyword "three pressures" and conducted in-depth analysis and explanation of the main manifestations of the "three pressures" of demand shrinkage, supply shocks, and expectations weakening faced by various megacities and megacities, and put forward some targeted development ideas and countermeasures and suggestions with certain reference value for decision-making.

Some cities are more distinctive and distinctive in responding to the hot issues and innovations of the "three pressures". The blue book conducted special discussions and research, such as the construction of Guangzhou's modern industrial system, the establishment of Tianjin's manufacturing city, the construction of Chengdu's international consumption center city, and the development of Shanghai's digital economy.

Blue Book focuses on the economic development issues of super-large cities. In 2021, the total amount of GDP in 21 megacities in my country accounted for 32.43% of the country; the proportion of general public budget revenue reached 20.45%; the total retail sales of social consumer goods accounted for 33.35%; the actual investment in using foreign investment reached 79.19%; and the total import and export volume accounted for 54.18%.

It can be seen that megacities, as regional economic complexes and growth poles for regional economic development, play a main role in leading the region to maintain growth and promote development and stabilize the basic economic situation. However, from the perspective of the social and economic development trends of national central cities, from 2021 to the first half of this year, the economic development and growth advantages of national central cities are insufficient. Based on the in-depth analysis of the problems, difficulties and pressures faced by various megacities in urban construction under the "three pressures", the blue book puts forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions from the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand, stimulating the vitality of market entities in , deepening the supply-side structural reform of , improving the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, optimizing the ecology of science and technology innovation, deepening the reform and opening up of , coordinating the promotion of economic development and people's livelihood security, promoting regional coordinated development and new urbanization , etc.

National Central City Construction Index ranking has changed significantly. Among the evaluations of 9 national central city construction indexes, the ranking has changed significantly compared with 2020.

Beijing (0.6155), Shanghai (0.5669), and Guangzhou (0.4749) are still ranked in the top three respectively, but the gap between the construction index of Shanghai and Guangzhou and the construction index of Beijing has narrowed significantly compared with the previous year.

Chengdu (0.4238) construction index ranking rose by 1 place compared with the previous year, ranking fourth; Wuhan's construction index rose to fifth place in 2021; Chongqing (0.3995) ranked sixth; Xi'an (0.3823), Zhengzhou (0.3232), and Tianjin (0.2772) ranked seventh, eighth and ninth respectively. In terms of the growth index, although the growth of some functions is negative due to the impact of the epidemic, the overall development of various cities showed positive growth, among which Xi'an had the highest growth potential. The measurement results of the construction level of 12 other super-large cities show that Shenzhen, Nanjing and Hangzhou are at the first level of the construction level of 12 super-large cities, Qingdao , Changsha, Jinan, Kunming and other cities are at the second level, and Shenyang, Dalian, Harbin, Dongguan , Foshan is at the third level.
