What are the gaps between second-tier cities and new first-tier cities?

Many people yearn for life in big cities, especially first-tier cities like Beishangguang, where young people pursue their dreams. In recent years, dozens of cities such as Chengdu and Wuhan have entered the ranks of new first-tier cities. Of course, there is still a big gap between second-tier cities and new first-tier cities, which is mainly reflected in urban economic strength, residents' consumption level and basic service facilities.

The first is the gap in economic strength between cities. The new first-tier cities basically have a solid economic foundation, a huge middle class population and considerable political resources; Generally, it is a regional central city, which has radiation ability to many surrounding provinces, rich educational resources, profound cultural accumulation and convenient transportation; Many new first-tier cities usually gather in provincial capitals and coastal open cities in economically developed areas, with good economic foundation, convenient transportation and unique urban charm.

In addition, the consumption level of urban residents is quite different. Residents in new first-tier cities generally have a higher education level, relatively higher work remuneration and less pressure on life. The income of the whole family is higher than that of families in second-tier cities. The economy promotes consumption, which makes the consumption level of new first-tier cities generally much higher than that of second-tier cities.

Of course, the public infrastructure of new first-tier cities is also relatively perfect. New first-tier cities generally have a sound road traffic system, and will also improve the public entertainment infrastructure in various places, while the penetration rate of public facilities in second-tier cities is not very high, and many places do not even have complete leisure and entertainment places for residents to play. In contrast, residents in new first-tier cities have convenient transportation and many public places can provide rest, while second-tier cities may not be so well treated.

Of course, the key to choosing which city to live in is your own choice, as long as you live happily.
