The forthcoming national urbanization plan will drive this new urbanization strategy, and serve as a guide to sustainable urban development.
Research scope
USI 2013 covers a longer period of time and studies more cities than USI 2011. Raw data was drawn from a seven-year period: 2005-2011; with the most recent data in most cities
dating as of 2011. Raw data in USI 2011 was assembled from a four-year period: 2005-2009. Our research covers all 185 Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, some county-level cities, as well as prioritized clusters and important clusters as designated in the National Main Functional Cluster Plan (Figure 1). These cities were considered for study because the government recognized them as urbanized areas with population settlement and economic activity. The report includes more key prefecture cities and county cities than the 112 cities analyzed in USI 2011.Figure 1Geographic coverage of USI2013 cities
