Four-tier cities are mostly medium-sized cities with relatively ordinary city size, economic and social development level and transportation construction. Most of the fourth-tier cities are predominantly prefecture-level cities, including autonomous regions in individual provinces and autonomous regions.
The economic and social development of the fourth-tier cities often relies on local small and medium-sized enterprises or resource-based enterprises, and the consumption level of the residents is in the process of growth. In the regional strategic layout of large companies and brands, the fourth-tier cities often have to rely on the radiation of the regional center city, but the fourth-tier cities have a certain degree of attraction to China's local medium-sized enterprises and second-tier brands.
